MAY 31, 2007 ~ JULY 26, 2007: Incomplete version.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
JULY 26 ~ AUGUST 11, 2007: Version 2.0 to Version 3.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 15, ~ September 6, 2007 Version 3.0 to Version 4.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
September 7th ~ October 5th, 2007: Version 4.0 to Version 4.30
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 20th ~ December 31st, 2007: Version 4.30 to Version 5.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
May 13, 2008: It has been awhile, my first real update since the
beginning of March. Sadly, all I can do at this point
is reader mail, since I do not have enough time to
type up anything new. Anywho, here are the updates:
* For some reason, I thought Shellos was a ground type
when writing the main guide, and didn't even notice
it until a reader pointed it out. The guide has been
corrected to reflect that it is only a water type.
* A reader named Vyse505 sent in a Fatina strategy
that was added to the guide.
* A user named ScizorsIronFist sent in a correction
to a question I answered in the FAQ section about
Accuracy.
* A reader named Stuart submitted a movelist for
Roserade.
In other Pokemon news, Everyone's Pokémon Ranch should
be coming out within the next few weeks or months, so
I will try to cover the basics of connecting to it
and some of the Pokemon you can get from it. Also,
Pokemon Platnium was revealed yesterday and is
scheduled to be released in the fall/winter sometime
in Japan, and sometime next Spring/Summer for the
US. I might make a updated version of the guide for
it, although I am not too sure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
June 9, 2008: Already been a month, eh? Got a few new things for
you. All My Pokemon Ranch related.
* Added the My Pokemon Ranch section to the guide,
as well as updated the Pokedex and Pokemon
location sections for info reguarding Pokemon
Battle Revolution and My Pokemon Ranch.
In other news, its already been 1 year since I
started on the guide. Since it was posted, the
guide has well over 1,410,000 hits on Gamefaqs
alone. At this point, there is little else to
do in the guide, although I do need to get the
Underground and Battle Tower guide done when I have
more time.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 30, 2008: Just in time for a monthly update!
* Added move list info for Corosola, Heracross, and
Tyranitar written to Ferric Flame to the movelist
section
* Updated Route 229 for info on Ledian and Ariados
* Clarified some things with Happiny and the Oval
Stone
* Fixed a typo that spelled Sunyshore as Sunnyshore
all throughout the guide.
* Corrected some info reguarding Jasmine in
Sunyshore.
* Added some info on the recent US Pokemon Events
in the Event Pokemon section.
* Added a tip for catching Heatran easier
* A bunch of other minor corrections here and
there.
One thing you might notice is I removed my email
from the top of the guide. The reason I did that
was because I was getting a few complaint emails on
why I was not answering questions anymore. As much
as I love how many emails I get about the guide,
I cannot respond to questions anymore due to my
schedule. Thus, please only send me a email if you
see something wrong with the guide.
Finally, Pokemon Platinum is coming out in September
in Japan. While I have not decided if I will write
a guide for it, I am going to wait until it comes out
in the US if I am going to write the guide.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 13, 2008: Finally getting to some of the stuff on my to-do list!
* Added the In-Game Trade locations in the sidequest
section
* Ribbon Lady added to the daily sidequest section
* Added the Macho Brace sidequest to the sidequest
section
* Added the Rival Rematches to the Post-Elite Four
guide.
I'm thinking about updating before the end of
August again, but I am not too sure. I'm going
to try to get most of the stuff on my to-do list
done before Platinum launches in the US.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 14, 2008: A small update, but one that has still been requested
by several people.
* Added both versions of Route 211 (One of the routes
in the game that you do not have to go on) to the
main part of the guide.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 13, 2009: Hi D/P Players! I've been busy writing the Platinum
version of this guide. In return, I give some of the
long-awaited content on my to-do list that I did
for both this guide and Platinum.
* Added the Sinnoh Underground Section
* Added the Chatot's Chatter guide
* Finished up the Eevee guide
As of this update, the D/P guide has 2.5 Million
views alone on Gamefaqs, almost 1 million views in
one year alone. That is a lot, and I thank everyone
that is still reading this guide. I am trying to
get this and the Platinum guide done before HeartGold
and SoulSilver come out in Japan on September 12th,
so expect a few more updates.

----
As you begin the game, you will be asked for your name and gender, as well
as the name for your rival. Be aware that once you make a choice, you
cannot change it. Once you do begin the game, you will be on the top floor
of your house(Your room). Go downstairs and your mother will tell you that
your rival is looking to you. Head outside to continue (Although this is
obvious information, the doors or exits usually have a place mat or stairs/
elevator of some kind to mark where it is).
As you can see, Twinleaf is a small town. There is a small puddle down
south, but there is nothing you can get from it. There are three other
houses in town; two of which have nothing in them. To get to your rivals
house, go to the house that is in the northwest corner of town. Once you
talk to your rival, go in his house to find out where he went. Head north
to Route 201 to find your rival. He will then ask you to go with him to
Verity Lake, which is to the left of where you are at now. Head there now.
You will catch your first glimpse of the Prof. and his assitant, the
opposite gen er you choose (Dawn if you are a male and Lukas if you are a
female). Rowan will talk to you for a minute and then walk off without his
briefcase with the starters in it. Suddenly, you will be attacked on both
sides by wild Starly. You will now be able to choose your starter.
Which one should you choose? Well, several factors come into play:
*Do you know anyone else that has this game, and if so what starter did
they get? Although you can get other starters via online trading, it
would help to know what the other people around you have so you can get
them a bit easier.
*How experienced are you with previous Pokemon games? Turtwig evolves late
at level 18, but evolves much earlier then the others at level 32 and has
dual grass/ground type. Chimchar evolves earlier at level 14, but evolves
like normal at level 36 and has fire/fighting type. Piplup evolves the
latest at level 16, and then 36 with water/steel type.
*Each have their own uses with gyms. Here is a example of each:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| First Gym: Rock |(Turtwig and Piplup are strong, and Chimchar is |
| | weak against it until it gains fighting moves |
| | when it evolves) |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Second Gym: Grass |(Chimchar is the strongest here, while Piplup |
| | is the weakest) |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Third Gym: Fighting |(None are strong here, although Chimchar has |
| | a type advantage against the leader's Lucario) |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Fourth Gym: Water |(Turtwig is the strongest here, while Chimchar |
| | is the weakest) |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Fifth Gym: Ghost |(None are strong here, and Turtwig's Evolutions |
| | cannot attack Gengar and other Pokemon with |
| | ground attacks. Also noteable is Chimchar's |
| | evolutions fighting moves are ineffective |
| | against ghost types) |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Sixth Gym: Steel |(Chimchar is very effective here, while Turtwig |
| | can also be useful on all besides Bronzong with |
| | ground-type attacks. Piplup can also hit Steelix|
| | pretty hard with water attacks). |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Seventh Gym: Ice |(Chimchar is effective here, although its |
| | evolutions are weak against the leader's |
| | Medicham. Turtwig is ineffective here). |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Eighth Gym: Electric |(Turtwig's evolutions are very strong here, |
| | while Piplup is weak here) |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
As you can see, Chimchar is the most effective type-wise against the Gyms,
while Turtwig comes in second. Piplup is not very effective in most of the
gyms. Anywho, you should easily be able to KO the Starly that attacked you.
Once that happens, the Prof.'s Assistant will show up and take the
briefcase back. You will then automatically go back the way you came and
enter a cutscene with the Prof. Once that is done, you will be on Route 201.

\------------------------------------------------------------/
Not much to do here. Since you have no Pokeballs at this point, all you
can do is battle for experience (It is recommended you get your starter
to at least level 8 or so right now). There are no trainers here, either.
However, you can get a handy potion from the guy in the grass near
Sandgem Town. Once you are finished here, head to the right to get to
Sandgem Town

As soon as you enter town, Prof. Rowan's assistant will escort you to
his lab, where you will get the Pokedex. After that is done, head back
to Twinleaf Town and talk to your mother. Once you do that, you will
be able to head on Route 202.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The Pokedex on the save screen now shows the Pokemon seen instead |
| of caught. This comes into play later on after you beat the story |
| mode of the game. |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Once you exit his lab, you will get shown around town. Unfortunately,
there is not much you can do at this point, although you can buy Pokeballs
and Potions, so stock up for the road ahead. You can also head on the
beach to Route 219, but you can't do much besides get a Antidote. You
may want to check out the Pokemon Center as well and heal up.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| You cannot do wireless trade at this point. You will need to at |
| least get the 1st badge before you can access the downstairs |
| section of Pokemon Centers. |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Head North to Route 202 to continue.

Trainers:
/------------------------------------------------\
|Youngster Tristan |
|Money: 80p |
|EV Gained: 1 Speed |
|Rematch Trainer: Yes |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Starly lv 5 (Flying/Normal) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Not much you can do at this point. May |
| want to use your starter for this one. |
|------------------------------------------------|
| |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Lass Natalie |
|Money: 48p |
|EV Gained: 2 HP |
|Rematch Trainer: Yes |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Bidoof lv 3 (Normal) |
|Bidoof lv 3 (Normal) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: You won't get much money from this fight, |
| but you will get some decent EXP for |
| any Starly or Shinx you caught earlier. |
|------------------------------------------------|
| |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Youngster Logan |
|Money: 80p |
|EV Gained: 1 Attack |
|Rematch Trainer: Yes |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Shinx lv 5 (Electric) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: One of your first non-normal or flying |
| battles. Shinx, however, only knows |
| tackle as a offensive move, so Piplup and |
| Starly will be fine. |
\------------------------------------------------/
As soon as you enter the Route, Rowan's Assistant will show up and show you
how to catch Pokemon and give you 5 Pokeballs. Now is also a good time to
catch some Pokemon. Starly and Shinx are both great additions to your team,
so try to catch them before you move on. Bidoof and Kricketot, though...
Catch them for the Pokedex, at least.
Also, there are some trainers on the route. Nothing too major: mostly in
the 2-5 level range, so you may want to level up a little bit. You can
also get a Potion in the grass near the entrance to Jublife City.

Pokemart Items:

Ah, your first big city. Jublife may be one of the towns you visit the most
later on because of the GTS (Located to the left of the Pokemon center,
past the Trainer's School), but you cannot access it until you get your
first Gym Badge. So, for now, head to the Pokemon center and heal yourself
up and go to the Pokemon Center and buy some items. Once you are ready,
head to the trainer school.
=====================
||Trainer's School ||
===========================================================================
Trainers:
/------------------------------------------------\
|School Kid Harrison |
|Money: 120p |
|EV Gained: 1 Special Attack |
|Rematch Trainer: No |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Abra lv 6 (Psychic) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: While normal Abra usually have Teleport |
| as their main move, this one has Hidden |
| Power as a attack. Hidden Power is a move |
| that changes depending on the IV's of the |
| Pokemon using it, so it can be one of the |
| different types in the game. Still, use |
| your starter. |
|------------------------------------------------|
| |
|------------------------------------------------|
|School Kid Christine |
|Money: 120p |
|EV Gained: 1 Special Attack |
|Rematch Trainer: No |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Abra lv 6 (Psychic) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Pretty much the exact same as the other |
| one, but its Hidden Power is a different |
| type. |
\------------------------------------------------/
Inside, you will see your rival. Talk to him to give him the parcel and he
will give you a town map in exchange (Granted, it is sort of useless). You
can read the blackboard for some tips, and you can battle the two trainers
to the right for a TM (no. 10, Hidden Power. Sort of useless in battle, in
truth).
===========================================================================
The next thing you should do if talk to the man in the street in between
the Pokemon Center and the Trainer School. He will tell you to find three
clowns and answer several questions for a prize. Here are the location of
the clowns (They are dressed in yellow and have Jesters hats):
- In front of the Pokemart (Directly north of the Pokemon Center)
- In front of the Jublife TV station (Directly north of town)
- In front of the Poketech Company (Directly Northwest of town)
As far as I remember, I do not remember getting a wrong answer (I said yes
to all three and got the questions right. If anyone got anything different,
email me). Once you get a right answer, you will get a Poketech coupon.
Once you get all 3 Poketech coupons, go talk to the man to the left of the
Pokemon center and he will give you a Poketech. This device will allow you
to do several things on the touch screen that can be upgraded over time.
However, at this point, you only have the first few Apps, so it is only
good for time right now.
Before you leave, you may want to go to Route 218 a bit early (Route 218
is west of Jublife). Inside the gatehouse on your way there, you can
pick up a old rod from the fisherman. While is pretty much only catching
Magikarp, it might be a good idea to pick a Magikarp early if you do not
have a Water Pokemon (Keep in mind that Magikarp itself is pretty much
useless. Its evolution at lv 20, Grads, is a very powerful Pokemon).
Once you have gotten some Pokeballs and potions from the Pokemart and have
seen everything you wanted in Jublife, head east to Route 203.

|Pokemon: |
|Kricketot lv 7 (Bug) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: All Kricketot really has is bide, so be |
| careful if you attack him too long without|
| knocking him out. Try to use Starly if |
| you have one |
|------------------------------------------------|

|Youngster Sebastian |

|Pokemon: |
|Machop lv 7 (Fighting) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Machop is one of the first fighting |
| Pokemon you will see. He has Low Kick on |

| if you have one |
|------------------------------------------------|

|Pokemon: |
|Bidoof lv 5 (Normal) |
|Zubat lv 5 (Flying/Poison) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Bidoof is still pretty weak, so take him |
| out with whatever. Zubat, on the other |
| hand, can be annoying. It has Leech Life, |
| which can harm Turtwig pretty badly. |
| It also has Supersonic which can confuse |
| one of your Pokemon. Use Shinx if you have|
| it. |

|Pokemon: |
|Bidoof lv 4 (Normal) |
|Starly lv 4 (Normal/Flying) |
|Budew lv 4 (Grass/Poison) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: This may be a good time to use any of your|
| weaker Pokemon. Bidoof and Starly are the |
| same as ever. Budew, however, is new. It |
| can use a move called Absorb, which Piplup|
| is weak again. Chimchar or Starly can take|
| care of it. |
|------------------------------------------------|
| |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Lass Madeline |
|Money: 80p |
|EV Gained: 1 HP, 1 Speed |
|Rematch Trainer: Yes |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Starly lv 5 (Normal/Flying) |
|Bidoof lv 5 (Normal) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: The only major thing is that Starly has |
| quick attack, but otherwise it is the |
| same as ever. |
\------------------------------------------------/
As soon as you enter the Route, you will be challenged by your Rival. By
now, your Pokemon should be in the 6-10 lv range, so go train if they are
not.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Rival |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Starly lv 7 (Normal/Flying) |
|Starter: lv 9 (Fire type Chimchar if you choose Turtwig, Water type |
| Piplup if you choose Chimchar, Grass type Turtwig if you |
| choose Piplup). |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Your Rival is at a fairly high level this early in the game, his |
| Starly alone can cause problems if you choose Turtwig. The best way|
| to take down his team at this point is to have a Shinx at around |
| lv 6-7, your own Starly around the same level, and your starter |
| at lv 8 or above. Shinx does not have any major electric moves |
| at this point, but he is one of the more powerful Pokemon at this |
| Point. Starly learns Wing Attack at lv 9, which can wipe out his |
| Pokemon is only a few hits. Your starter should be kept in reserve |
| and as a last option at this point. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat him, you will be able to continue. There are 5 trainers on
this Route, so it may be a good time to level up for the upcoming Gym. Also,
try to catch a Abra if you can at this point if you have someone that you
can trade with. It is also a good idea to catch Shinx at this point if you
have not. Once you are done on this route, continue east to the Oreburgh
Gate..

|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Budew is the same as the one you fought |

| It has water sport, although it really |
| doesn't do anything at this point. Starly |
| for Budew, and Turtwig/Shinx for Psyduck. |

|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Only thing different about this Shinx is |
| it is a higher level then the other ones |
| you have fought. |
\------------------------------------------------/
At this point, you cannot do much in this small cave. Talk to the hiker
when your first enter to get HM 06, Rock Smash (Although you cannot use it
at this point until you get the first badge). Geodude and Zubat are both
common, both being a excellent addition to your team (Zubat's final
evolution Crobat is a very good Poison/Flying type that would serve well
as your main Poison Pokemon, and Geodude's final evolution Golem does
well in most situations, but you will need to trade to get him).
There are also some low level trainers here that you can't avoid, so make
sure you use a Pokemon that needs the EXP. Head east until you reach the
exit to Oreburgh City.

Not much you can do at this point. Your rival is blocking the way to the
Oreburgh Gym and tells you that the gym leader is not in right now. The
Oreburgh Museum does not have much in it until you have some fossils from
The Underground. The second condominium near when you first entered has
a woman that will trade you a Abra for a Machop: a good deal if you cannot
find one yourself (Although it cannot learn any level up moves until it
evolves at lv 16, you can teach it TMs and HMs).
Also, the Pokemon Center will now have the downstairs center open, allowing
you to trade and battle people online.Once you are ready to continue, head
down south to the Oreburgh Mine.

|Pokemon: |

| Once again, use Starly. |
|------------------------------------------------|

|Rematch Trainer: No |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Geodude lv 7 (Rock/Ground) |
|Onix lv 7 (Rock/Ground) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Colin has a similar team to the upcoming |
| Gym Leader. Both Pokemon have Mud Sport, |
| which lovers Electric-type attack's power.|
| However, you shouldn't even be using Shinx|
| against ground Pokemon! Use Turtwig if you|
| have it, or Piplup. |
\------------------------------------------------/
The only new Pokemon at this point is Onix, which is not quite a good one
at this point of the game (Catch anyway for the Pokedex if you do see one,
though).
Here, you will need to go down to the basement and talk to the Gym Leader,
Roark. He is located at the southern part of the basement area of the mine,
next to two breakable rocks. Once you talk to him, he will return to the
gym. At this point, there is much to do inside the mine besides train
against wild Pokemon. You should be at least in the 10s range for all of
your Pokemon.
Once you are done in the mine, return to Oreburgh and head to the Gym. Keep
in mind that he specializes in Rock and Ground type Pokemon, so water and
grass Pokemon are good at this point. Only problem is the only Grass and
Water Pokemon at this point are your starters...

|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Geodude lv 8 (Rock/Ground) |
|Onix lv 8 (Rock/Ground) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Like the ones you fought in the mine, |
| only at a higher level. Use Piplup or |
| Turtwig. |
|------------------------------------------------|
| |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Youngster Jonathan |
|Money: 160p |
|EV Gained: 1 Defense |
|Rematch Trainer: No |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Geodude lv 10 (Rock/Ground) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Currently the highest level Pokemon you |
| have faced at this point, but he is the |
| same as every other Geodude you have beat |
| so far. |
\------------------------------------------------/
Fairly simple for a gym. You can either challenge the two trainers by going
straight up (They are good EXP, and you cannot fight them once you beat the
gym), or you can go up the steps on your left, over the bridge, and up the
steps on your right, and then head to the Gym Leader. Make sure you bring
several Potions before you fight him, and head to the Pokemon Center if you
fought the other trainers.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Roark |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Geodude lv 12 (Rock/Ground) |
|Onix lv 12 (Rock/Ground) |
|Cranidos lv 14 (Rock) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Roark is similar to Brock and Roxanne from the previous games, |
| although much harder. His signature move is Stealth Rock: a move |
| similar to Spikes that damages your Pokemon when you switch out. |
| Geodude is his easiest Pokemon, absorb from Turtwig and bubble |
| from Piplup work well on him. His next Pokemon is Onix, which is |
| sort of a tougher Geodude with a higher defense. Same strategy |
| works well with him. His final Pokemon is Cranidos: a powerful |
| fossil Pokemon with a high attack (Headbutt is brutal at this |
| point). The best Pokemon to use against him is a Geodude with the |
| move Magnitude (Rock is weak against Ground, although Geodude |
| learns it at lv 15). Its also good to note that if your starter |
| isn't evolved, there is a good chance he will not last long against|
| his Cranidos (Especially Chimchar). If you are having a hard time, |
| make sure you do not use any flying or electric types like Starly |
| and Shinx and try to evolve your starter as soon as you can. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat Roark, you will get the Coal Badge and TM76 (Stealth Rock).
There isn't much else to do at this point you can head up to Route 207 and
catch a Machop early (They are fairly common. Personally, though, Machop's
final evolution Machamp is sort of meh at this point and not all that
useful down the road). Once you are done in Oreburgh, head back to the
Oreburgh gate (You will also see your Rival near the entrance).

| before you can continue in this section |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Note that the following is optional (Skip on ahead to the Jublife section
after this one if you want to continue), but I will cover it anyway. You
can now break the rocks to the north of the Oreburgh Gate and enter the
first half of the basement.
The basement is not all that different. You can now find wild Psyduck early
at this point (Not the best water Pokemon in the game), and you can get
some Stardust and TM 70 (Flash, although you can buy it later in the game.
Not to mention Flash is fairly useless in battle). After you get all that,
you cannot continue further until you get a bike and surf.
________________________________________________________________________

\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
Now that you have the first badge, you can now enter the TV station and the
GTS (Since you do not have that many Pokemon in your Pokedex at this point,
it is sort of pointless. However, you might want to get a Cranidos if you
are playing Pearl, it will help quite a bit). You can also get a new
Poketech App by talking to the President of the Poketech Company on the
first floor of the building to the northwest.
Once you are ready to continue, head up directly North foe find Rowan and
his assistant being pestered by some oddly dressed people. Its also time
for your first 2-on-2 trainer battle.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: 2 Team Galactic Grunts |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Zubat lv 9 (Poison/Flying) |
|Wurmple lv 7 (Bug) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Even though this is a easy battle, it is noteable for being one of |
| the few 2-on-2 event battles in the game. Rowan's Assitant will |
| have a lv 13 starter that is the weaker type of your own (Turtwig |
| if you have Chimchar, Chimchar if you have Piplup, and Piplup if |
| you have Turtwig). Your partner will always choose his/her own |
| attacks and you will technically have two targets at once. They |
| will also have two attacks of their own, so be prepared. Zubat goes|
| down with Electric and Psychic (Only types you really have at this |
| point), and Wurmple goes down with Fire. Still, this is a easy |
| battle... |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once that is over, heal up and head up to Route 204.

Another no-thrills route. Not much is different with the available Pokemon
besides being able to catch Budew (Pre-evolution to Roselia, may want to

Although the Windworks themselves are your main target, there are a few new
Pokemon worth noting. Buizel is a water type, although he is a bit...meh.
Shellos, however, will be very handy later on (Its evolution is Water/
Ground, same type as Quagsire and has resistance to electric attacks. Get him
if you do not have a Piplup). Parchirisu is a horrible electric Pokemon, so
only catch him for the Pokedex.

| one you fought earlier. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After that one, you will fight a second Grunt.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Team Galactic Grunt |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Zubat lv 11 (Poison/Flying) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Nothing new. If you were able to defeat Zubats earlier, then you |
| can kill this one in just a few moves. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once they are both defeated, you will get some Honey and the Works Key.
Head back to the Valley Windworks.

|Info: Not much new. Glameow does know Fake Out, |
| so you might flinch on your first turn. |
| Wurmple also know Poison Sting, so you |
| might be poisoned. Any decent leveled |
| Pokemon are good. |
\------------------------------------------------/
Now that you have the key, you can go inside. Before you fight the Galactic
Commander, you will have to fight several Grunts (4 total). Before you
fight the commander herself, make sure you heal at a Pokemon Center. Head
to the backroom to start the battle.

|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |

|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: While it may seem like her Zubat is normal, it knows Toxic: A move |
| that will increase in power over time as long as you are poisoned. |
| If you do get poisoned, try to heal as soon as you knock it out. |
| Purugly is a little bit of a tank, but will go down quickly if your|
| starter is at its second stage. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you defeat her, they will clear out of the Windworks. Drifloon will
also start showing up outside on Fridays (There will be one you can talk
to right outside, they only appear once every week and do not appear in
the grass. Once you are done with that, continue back to Route 205.

Pretty much every Pokemon in the forest is new, several you want to catch.
However, as soon as you enter the forest, you will be forced to team up
with a trainer named Cheryl. Although you had a partner battle before, here
is some basics:
- When you encounter a wild Pokemon, two of them will appear at once. You
cannot throw a Pokeball until one of them faints. It may be a good idea
to catch Pokemon after you get to Eterna.
- When you have a party member and exit the way you came in, they will wait
at the entrance and rejoin you the next time you enter.
- You cannot surf or use rock climb while a trainer follows you.
- After each battle, yours and the trainers Pokemon will be fully healed.
If any are knocked out, they are revived.
With that out of the way, its good to note that Chansey is a very weak
Pokemon, usually healing itself or you in battle most of the time. However,
it is at lv 15, which isn't too bad. Also, its a good idea to wait until
later to catch Pokemon since you will have to faint one before you can
throw Pokeballs and the trainer will still attack that Pokemon. Another
thing to note is Eterna forest is filled with trainers lined up to have
double battles. Even if you talk to just one, it will still be a double
battle.
To exit Eterna Forest: from the entrance, go right, then up, and then right
again. Head down, then to the right, and then up, and then to the left and
up again. If you get lost, just remember to keep going forward on the path.
Eventually, you will hit two cut-table trees (Although you can't cut them
yet since you do not have the badge or HM yet). If you head right from
those trees, you will be out of the Forest and Cheryl will leave your
party.
Now that she is gone, it may be a good time to catch some Pokemon. Wurmple
and its evolutions are a bit weak, so only catch them for the Pokedex.
Buneary is a decent normal type and somewhat better then Bidoof and such.
Diamond players can get a Murkrow, which now has a new evolution (Plus, it
is a flying/Dark type, which is fairly good considering the lack of dark
types in the game). Pearl players can get Misdreavus, a fairly decent ghost
type (Granted, I still think Gengar is a bit better). Once you are done in
the forest, head over to the other side of Route 205.

|Info: In pretty much every Pokemon game, it is |

| the same tactics you used with Joseph |
| on Goldeen and use anything for the |
| Magikarp. |
\------------------------------------------------/
The Pokemon are pretty much the same, so there is no real point unless you
want to level up. A few fishermen on the bridge as well you can fight. Once
you are done, head east to Eterna City.

First thing: head over to the Pokemon center and heal up. Second thing to
do is head to the house next to the Pokemon center and talk to the old guy
inside to get a Explorer Kit (You have to get it before you can leave town)
You can also now head to the underground and start digging for items (Keep
in mind that some things won't appear until you get the National Dex).
Head up north of the Pokemon Center to meet a young lady named Cynthia. She
will give you HM 01 (Cut), although you cannot use it quite yet. You can
also head over to the Herb Shop and buy some cheaper medicine, although it
will lower your Pokemon's friendship with you.
Next to the Pokemart is a Condominium where you can trade a Buizel for a
Chatot (A flying/normal type you will not see until much later in the game.
Not all that great for battle, though). Once you are ready, head over to
the Eterna City Gym in the lower right corner.

Eterna's Gym is sort of a odd one. Instead of trying to avoid trainers to
get to the leader, you will have to fight 3 trainers before you can fight
the leader herself. The bad? They will appear hidden one at a time and
you have to fight them in order. Here are their locations:
- The first is hidden by a tree near the gym leader's area. To reach it:
head up to the gym leader's green platform and then turn to your right.
Go down the path that leads south on the right path and you will find the
trainer at the bottom on the right side.
- The second trainer is located in the Southwestern path. From the first
trainer, go back up and then go left and then down the path. She will be
at the end, somewhat hidden by trees.
- The third trainer is in the northeastern path. From the entrance of the
Gym, head on the first right path and then keep going up until you reach
the end. She will be hidden by a tree.
Once you beat all 3 trainers, the Gym Leader will appear to the very north
of the gym. Make sure you have a few healing items (Like items that can
cure Paralyze and potions) and heal up at the Poke center.

|Pokemon: |
|Cherubi lv 19 (Grass) |
|Turtwig lv 19 (Grass) |
|Roserade lv 22 (Grass/Poison) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Both her Cherubi and Turtwig are fairly weak, flying Pokemon such |
| as Starly and Murkrow can make quick work of them (As well as |
| Chimchar). Roserade is a bit more powerful, being a final evolution|
| and 3 levels above the others. If you have a Kadabra or Alakazam, |
| now would be the time to use them (Psychic moves are effective |
| against poison types). Flying types also work well, since they are |
| somewhat resistant against grass attacks. I don't remember her too |
| well, but I think she used a mixture of poison and paralyze |
| attacks. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat her, you will get the Forest Badge and TM 86 (Grass Knot).
Now that you are done with the Gym, you can continue on your quest. If you
have not yet gone to the northern part of Eterna City, go there now to get
HM 01 (Cut) from Cynthia (The blond lady). There is also a herb shop you
can buy bitter medicine from. Once you have cut, teach it to a Pokemon and
cut down the trees near the spikey building at the north part of town (To
cut, either press A and select yes for the Pokemon that knows cut, or go
into the Pokemon menu and select it). Also note that you will need the Gym
Badge from this town before you can use cut.

Pretty straightforward for the most part. Your main goal is to get to the
4th floor, while battling Galactic Grunts along the way. Fortunately, you
can avoid most of the grunts in the building, but they are decent EXP if
you need it.
The first floor has 2 grunts you will need to fight to proceed (Near the
staircase). Second floor has all the grunts at computers, so you can avoid
pretty much all of them. Third floor has a grunt near the entrance, so you
cannot avoid that one. Finally, on the 4th floor, you will fight Commander
Jupiter.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Commander Jupiter |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Zubat lv 18 (Poison/Flying) |
|Skuntank lv 20 (Poison/Dark) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Zubat is the same as always, use the same tactics you used on the |
| previous ones. Skuntank is a bit different, though. Because of its |
| Dark type, it cancels out Poison's weakness to Psychic. If you have|
| a Pokemon with ground moves, use those. Otherwise, use your best |
| attacker. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After you beat her, you will rescue the Bike Shop owner, who will then give
you a free bike! Now that everything in Eterna City is out of the way, its
time to continue to Route 206. However, make sure you have the Explorer Kit
from the old man before leaving, or you will be stopped by a lady telling
you to go get one. Heal at the Pokemon center, and go south to Route 206
(AKA Cycling Road). Also, make sure you have a Pokemon thaknows Rock Smash.
However, before we move on, here is the optional Eterna side of Route 211
you can visit before continuing.

|Info: Pretty standard by now. Since Geodude and |

| 4x weak against grass and water attacks. |

Route 211 is a entirely optional route, and is also split into two parts,
one to the East of Eterna City, and one closer to Celestic Town. There
are two trainers on the route you can face now, and a third you can
fight if you have Rock Smash. At the end of the route is a entrance to
Mt. Coronet with a blocked path due to a boulder that you cannot move until
you get Strength. Only other thing you can do here is catch a Chingling and
Meditite for your Pokedex. Once you are ready, head to Route 206.

| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| You need the Bike to access the Cycling Road. |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Note that all the Pokemon on this Route are below the Cycling Road, but you
will need cut to get to them. Anywho, if you have seen 30 Pokemon for your
Pokedex, Rowan's assistant will give you the very handy EXP share (Having
a Pokemon hold it gives it a percentage of shared EXP from battle, as long
as it doesn't fight itself and isn't knocked out). There are some trainers
on route 206, although they are all fairly weak.
Once you get to the bottom of Route 206 and exit the building, you can cut
the right tree and enter the bottom part of Cycling Road. It may be a very
good idea to catch a Bronzor for later, since it will be a powerhouse once
it evolves. You can also enter the Wayward cave, although there isn't much
to do right now (Especially since you do not have flash). Once you are
done, head to Route 207.

As soon as you enter Route 207, Rowan's assitant will greet you and play a
little guessing game. No matter what, you will always get both the VS
Seeker and the Dowsing Machine. The VS Seeker serves the same purpose it
did in FR/LG (To attract trainers that are on routes), while the Dowsing
Machine is a fancy name for the itemfinder Poketech APP.
You can head down to Oreburgh City via the mud ramp, but you will need the
Bike in the higher speed gear to go back up. There are several well hidden
trainers on the route that you can fight by going near the mud slope and
head on the right path, but it doesn't lead anywhere but to a few items.
Once you are ready, head on the right path and enter Mt. Coronet. (Once
again, make sure you have a Pokemon that can do rock smash).

Several new Pokemon to catch. Meditite is a useful Fighting/Psychic Pokemon
that can help curve a few of its weaknesses, so you may want to consider it
if you do not have a decent fighter. Chingling is a new Pre-evolved form of
Chimecho, a rare Pokemon from Ruby and Sapphire. However, it is somewhat
weak, so only catch it for collecting purposes. Cleffa is somewhat hard to
find, but it can also be useful. While it is hard to evolve (You need to
level it up via friendship, and then again with a rare Moon stone), its
final form Clefable is a decent Stage 2 Pokemon that can learn a variety of
moves via TMs and HMs.
Anywho, your first trip through Mt. Coronet will be a short run. In fact,
there is only one route through the cave that you can go on. Once you get
up to the stairs, you will meet a mysterious man dressed in similar clothes
to the Galactic grunts you have been fighting. Once that is done, continue
on the route through the cave. Also note that you will run into rocks you
will need Rock Smash for, so if you took my advice earlier you should have
no major problems. Once you are done in the cave, you will be on Route 208.

Few more new Pokemon. Bibarel is the evolved form of Bidoof, which is all
but useless in battle outside as a HM slave (Catch one if you don't plan
on having a full team or want a quick Pokemon to teach HMs to). Psyduck is
a old favorite, although it and its evolved form Golduck are not exactly
the strongest water Pokemon available.
Anywho, once you exit the route, you will find that you are in a mountain
section of the route with several trainers. However, many of them you
cannot even reach until you have the Surf and Rock Climb HMs. Once past the
mountain section, you will be in a grassy area with several trainers, a
house, and a entrance to Hearthome City. If you are collecting berries, go
to the house and talk to the old man inside to get a berry (He gives you
one each day randomly). Once you are done on the route, head to Hearthome
City.

|Heart Mail |50 |
\-------------------------------------------/
A huge city with quite a bit to do! Well, not right now, at least. While
there is a Gym, you cannot enter it until later. In fact, go to the contest
hall right now for a cute little scene with your mother and a Contest
Judge. Afterward, you will get a fashion case and a tux (Male) or dress
(Female). You will also be able to compete in Pokemon contests now,
although it isn't recommended at this point.
However, you may want to get the Poffin case right now, if you really want.
Head to the house that is to the far right of the Pokemart, and talk to the
old guy inside. He will give you a Poffin Case (and a Poffin itself, if I
remember correctly). To make Poffins, you have to go to the Poffin House
that is to the left of the Pokemart. Basically, you will need berries, and
a stylus to make them (sort of a mini-game, I'll explain it later).
Also, if you want egg Pokemon, head to the southeastern part of Hearthome
and talk to the hiker. He will give you a egg that will hatch into Happiny
after 10,259 steps. Happiny is the new Pre-evolved form of Chansey, and
can be a very devastating Pokemon if you raise it to a Blissey. Consider
it if you want a stall Pokemon on your team.
If you are up to make some more money, you might want to take a quick swing
by the Amity Square (Located north of Hearthome). Its not mandatory, but
you might want to check it out anyway.
================
||Amity Square||
===========================================================================
While it may seem like a waste of time, Amity Square has a very helpful
item called the Amulet Coin. To enter, you must have one of the following:
- Pikachu
- Clefairy
- Psyduck
- Pachirisu
- Happiny
- Buneary
- Drifloon
Psyduck, Pachirisu, and Buneary are all ready available Pokemon that you
can find easily at this point in the came (Psyduck being the nearest you
can catch). Drifloon only appears at the Windworks on Fridays, and
Clefairy and Pikachu are a little rare to find.
Anywho, the main thing you want to do here for now is get the Amulet Coin,
which is in one of the old building things to the north. The Amulet Coin
is a item that, when attached to a Pokemon and that Pokemon battles, you
will get double the cash after you win. Good for high paying trainers
and Elite Four battles.
===========================================================================
Once you have seen everything you want to see in Hearthome, head to the
Southwestern gate (Make sure you heal at a Pokemon center first). You will
then fight your rival for the second time.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Rival |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 1 (If you choose Turtwig) |
|Starly lv 19 (Normal/Flying) |
|Buizel lv 20 (Water) |
|Roselia lv 20 (Grass/Poison) |
|Monferno lv 21 (Fire/Fighting) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 2 (If you choose Chimchar) |
|Starly lv 19 (Normal/Flying) |
|Roselia lv 20 (Grass/Poison) |
|Ponyta lv 20 (Fire) |
|Prinplup (Water) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 3 (If you choose Piplup) |
|Starly lv 19 (Normal/Flying |
|Buizel lv 20 (Water) |
|Ponyta lv 20 (Fire) |
|Grotile lv 21 (Grass) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: So far, your rival will be the strongest battle in the game to |
| this point. So, lets look at his weaknesses. |
| |
| Starly is nothing at this point, although it is at a higher level |
| then what you are used to. Electric from a Luxio should bring it |
| down swiftly. |
| |
| Buizel is also another common Pokemon. Once again, a decent level |
| Luxio should have no issue taking it down, if not a grass Pokemon. |
| |
| Roselia is a piece of cake after you fought Gardenia. Fire, ground |
| and Psychic take care of it (Ice does too, but there is no ice |
| Pokemon at this point). |
| |
| Ponyta is a interesting Pokemon. Not only is it fast, but it is one|
| of 2 fire Pokemon families available in Pre-national Dex Sinnoh. |
| Water and Ground take care of it easily. |
| |
| Monferno is going to be a headache if you do not have any flying |
| or water types. If you have a Gyrados (it should have at least |
| Dragon Rage at this point), you should have no problems. |
| |
| Prinplup is pretty much a stronger Buizel. Nothing too special. |
| Luxio should take care of him easily, if not a grass Pokemon. |
| |
| Grotile is also a stronger Roselia, so same tactics against it. |
| However, you do not have any fire Pokemon at this point, so |
| flyers work best. |

\------------------------------------------------------------/
Rare Pokemon galore! Lets break it down: Mime Jr is the pre-evolved form of
Mr. Mime, but can only be caught in Diamond (Diamond players may want to
pick one up if they did not get Bronzor earlier). Bonsly is the pre-evolved
form of Sudowoodo, a rare Pokemon in earlier games. However, it is somewhat
weak, so I would not recommend picking it up. Chansey are rare, but they
sometimes carry the rare item lucky egg, and commonly carry Happiny's
evolution item (the Oval Stone, equipping it to a Happiny and leveling it
up will cause it to evolve into Chansey).
May want to raise it from the Happiny egg you got earlier, though. Staravia
make its first appearance, although it is recommended you train it from a
Starly. Finally, there is Gastly, which can only be found at night. You can
find plenty later, so avoid catching it for now.
Route 209 is a interesting route. Not only does it have a bunch of trainers
but they all have some fairly rare Pokemon. Your main goal is to get to
Solaceon Town, but you may want to stop at the lost tower on the way, since
it has a item you will need much later. You can find the tower to the right
before entering Solaceon.

|Info: Bit of a diverse team he has there. Stunky|
| may be your first dark Pokemon you fight, |
| so ground attacks also work well. Shellos |
| is a pure water Pokemon, so electric and |

|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: This has to be a joke from the designers..|
| A trainer class that normally uses poison |

| Anywho, it can't really attack you besides|
| via Copycat and putting you to sleep. |

|Info: Man, what a mouthful for a trainer name...|
| Anywho, Buizel has Swift, so it can attack|
| even if you use a move like Dig. It also |
| has Pursuit, a somewhat weak dark type |

|Misdreavus lv 19 (Ghost) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Version exclusive Pokemon! Anywho, Murkrow|
| is part dark type, so psychic types do not|
| work well on it. Misdreavus is interesting|
| since it is a pure ghost type. It has the |
| mean look ability, which does not allow |
| you to switch out. Use Geodude or Shinx on|
| Murkrow and Gastly with ghost type attacks|
| or a very strong Pokemon that can do |
| attacks besides fighting and normal types.|

Fans of older Pokemon games may recognize this as a smaller Pokemon tower.
Not only can you catch ghost and dark Pokemon that were exclusive to Eterna
forest until now, but you can also get Gastly, the prevailed form of
Haunter and Gengar. If you have someone that will trade with you, pick one
up! It can be one of your main Pokemon later in the game, and can win you
some major battles.
Anywho, there are a bunch of trainers, many of which you cannot avoid. Try
to also pick up every item you can if you are training a Happiny. One of
them is a Oval Stone, the item you need to evolve it into a Chansey.
Anywho, the real reason you are here is to get HM04, Strength. To get it,
go to the 5th and final floor and talk to the old lady on the left. While
you cannot use it outside of battle right now, it can be used as a powerful
move in battle, and you will need it much later. Once you are done, head
back down to the bottom (or use a escape rope) and head to Solaceon Town.

For such a small town, you will be here quite a bit once you beat the Elite
Four. Why? Well, the Day Care is here! If you want, you can leave a Pokemon
there right now and pick it up later. While you won't get any EV's from it,
you can put two compatible Pokemon in the center and trade them on the GTS
(even better if you have a female starter). You can also get a breeding APP
from the guy in the Pokemon Day Care when you talk to him, which tracks the
level of any Pokemon in the daycare and if they have a egg.
There are a few other things you can do while you are here. The home next
to the Pokemon Center is a News Press that is looking for someone to show
them a certain Pokemon per day. Note that the Pokemon is random and usually
from the Sinnoh Dex, so it can be a Pokemon you might have never met
before. If you show the person the right Pokemon, he will give you 3 of any
of the common balls out there (Can be anything from Pokeballs to Ultra
balls, including balls such as Luxury Balls).
You can also get a sticker case from the lady to the right of town. Simply
go up to the edge of town, and go right. Go past the first hedges, and go
to the second ones you seen and jump down. Jump down the next set of hedges
to reach a house with a boy and lady inside. The lady will give you a
sticker case, and the boy will give you a sticker for each Unown you catch
(More on that later).
You can also enter the Solaceon Ruins (Head to the right of town, and then
head to the very last set of hedges. Jump down three times until you are
near a tree). There isn't much there besides one single new Pokemon: Unown.
Fans of G/S/C/FR/LG might recognize this rather useless Pokemon. However,
there isn't much to really do at this point in the ruins. Once that is out
of the way, heal at the Pokemon center and head up to Route 210.

| Pokemon that is found via the honey trees.|
| Anywho, is has Baton Pass, but not much to|
| use it with (Fighting types work best on |
| it). Girafarig has a resistance to ghost |
| attacks, so its psychic type is only weak |
| against dark type attacks such as bite or |

The Pokemon are pretty much the same as 209, but you can now encounter wild
Ponyta. If you did not pick up Chimchar, you might want to pick one up,
since it is the only fire type from now until getting the national Pokedex
that is a fire type.
While you do not need the bike per se, it is a faster solution to get up
the mud slopes then going around in the grass. Once you get to the top, you
will find the route blocked by a flock of Psyduck that you cannot move at
this point. Next to it is a Cafe that has some trainers in it and sells Moo
Moo milk for 500 P. Once you are done here, go right and enter route 215.

Abra and Kadabra! If you have a friend you can trade with, then you can get
Alakazam, one of the best non-legendary Psychic types in the game. However,
you might want to pick up Kadabra anyway, since it still is a strong
psychic type (although with weak HP).
Route 215 can be a bit confusing. Not only is there a bunch of trainers on
the route, but it is always raining (which does the same effect as using
the rain dance move). Not only is fire weak on this route, but Thunder is
now 100% effective and water attacks are much more powerful.
Anywho, the route is fairly confusing at first, but here is what you should
do to get to the end: go up the first set of steps and over the bridge, and
go down. Head down and to the right and head up the steps to the next
bridge. Head over the bridge and go down. From there, the route is fairly
straightforward. Head to Veilstone afterward.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| The two trainers near the end of the route are good EXP. |
| Fight them if you are weak, since a gym is coming up soon. |

***NOTE***
System Error has this to add about the vending machines:
"Occasionally, when buying drinks, you may receive the message "Bonus!
Another can of X dropped down." after buying a drink, and you'll get
two of that drink for the price of one. It's prety rare, though; and I
've only had it happen two or three times out of like 500 drinks
bought."
For fans that remember Celadon and Goldenrod, Veilstone is pretty much the
same. Not only does it have a giant department store, but it also has a
game corner for slots. In truth, you can't do much up north of the city
until you beat the gym leader. Grunts will block you way until then. You
can go to the department store and get some good items, including great
balls and vending machinedrinks at the very top (These are the same at
potions, but are much cheaper). Stock up on a few before you head out.
You can get a Pokemon massage in the southwestern part of town, in the
house on the left, for free. Not only that, but you will also get items for
contests each time you do it. The items themselves are random, and you can
only do it once a day. On the house to the right of the grooming lady is a
house that you can get the coin case. Talk to the clown inside and choose
the correct hand to get it (I think it is random. If you get the wrong
hand, talk to him again).
Not much else you can do. There are stones to the right that have no use
unless you have Deoxys (A event Pokemon you won't have at this point, or
maybe never). Once you are ready, head to the gym for your 3rd gym battle.

Fighters! Not only that, but a bunch of weird things you have to slide
around. To get to the gym leader, you have to do the following:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| There is 6 little arena areas in the gym in a 3 x 2 position. I |
| personally go right to left, so the first arena will be the |
| one to the lower right, while the second will be the one on the |
| middle right. Here is a small diagram of what I mean) |
| |
| [6] [4] [2] |
| [5] [3] [1] |
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
================
||First Slider||
===========================================================================
*In the first arena, slide the first slider to the right.
*In the second arena, slide the first slider to the right.
*Go around to the left side of the first arena and slide the
slider to the right.
*Go to the left of the second arena and slide the slider to
the right.
*Head to the right of the first and second arenas and slide
the slider that is blocking your way to the second one to
the left.
*Continue to the top of the second arena and slide the slider
at the top to the left.
*Head to the left of the second arena via the path you
created and press the first slider near the gym leader
to the left.
===========================================================================
=================
||Second Slider||
===========================================================================
-Head to the 3rd arena and slide the first slider to the
left.
-Head up to the middle of the 3rd and 4th arena and slide
the slider to the left.
-Head to the left of the 3rd arena and slide the slider to
left.
-Head to the left of the 4th arena and slide the slider to
the left.
-Head to the left of the 5th arena and slide the slider to
the right.
-Head to the left of the 6th arena and slide the slider to the
right.
-Head up the right side of the 6th arena via the path you
created and slide the second slider near the gym leader
to the right.
===========================================================================
Once that is all done, head up the path you created on the 3rd and 4th
arenas to the gym leader, Maylene.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Maylene |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Meditite lv 27 (Psychic/Fighting) |
|Machoke lv 27 (Fighting) |
|Lucario lv 30 (Fighting/Steel) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: For such a small gym leader, she can be very hard as hell to |
| defeat. Two of Maylene's Pokemon are somewhat resistant against |
| Psychic attacks, and one of them is resistant against flying |
| attacks. Lets analyze her Pokemon. |
| |
| Meditite is her first and weakest Pokemon. It is a Psychic/Fighting|
| Pokemon, so it cancels out Fighting's weakness against Psychic and |
| can still strike ghosts. Best thing to do against Meditite is use |
| a flying type like Staravia. |
| |
| Machoke is the second of her Pokemon, and is the only pure fighter |
| on her team. If you caught a Kadabra earlier, then use it against |
| Machoke. Flyers also work well, as well as ghost types such as |
| Gastly/Misdreavus. |
| |
| Lucario is the strongest on her team, and a real pain in the ass |
| to take down. Not only does its Steel type make it hard for |
| Psychics and Flyers to take down, but its drain punch can take out |
| most things in one to two hits, and heal itself. You will need a |
| strong fire type, a Ponyta or Monferno work well. If not, Gyrados |
| and Dragon Rage can help. Ghosts can also work to some extent. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include Staravia at at least lv 27, Gyrados |
| at about lv 25 or more, Ponyta or Monferno at lv 27 or more, |
| Haunter at lv 28 or more, and Kadabra at lv 28 or more. |
| |
| A user named Wraith36444 recommends the following: "Use a lv 34 |
| Staraptor with Aerial Ace and Close Combat.". |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| One reader recommends the following: |
| |
| "All you need is a lvl 26-27 Luxio with Spark and lvl 22 Staravia |
| with Endeavor and Quick Attack (Wing Attack optional). Have Luxio |
| out first with spamming spark till meditite is dead. Now |
| generally, she will call out Lucario next. |
| |
| Switch to Staravia and choose Endeavor as your first move. As |
| long as he doesn't critical, it should take you to very low hp |
| and endeavor will do the same to him. Next use Endeavor again |
| (because she will use a hyper potion on him) and it will bring |
| him back down. |
| |
| Then use quick attack (she won't use a third hyper potion) and it |
| will kill lucario. Keep staravia out. At this point, you can do 2 |
| things: 1: Use endeavor again and hope machoke doesn't kill |
| staravia before then or 2: Use a super potion and finish it off |
| with any flying attacks you have. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat her, you will get TM60 (Drain Punch) and the Cobble Badge.
When you exit the gym, Rowan's assistant will come up and ask you for aid,
since Team Galactic stole her Pokedex. Head to the Pokemon center to heal
up, and then head up to the north part of Veilstone via the left path to
see Rowan's assitant and a couple of grunts. Double battle time!
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Galactic Grunts |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: (Trainer 1) |
|Beautifly lv 25 (Flying/Bug) |
|Stunky lv 25 (Dark/Poison) |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon (Trainer 2) |
|Dustox lv 25 (Bug/Poison) |
|Croagunk lv 25 (Poison/Fighting) |
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Another fairly hard fight, mostly because Rowan's Assistant choose |
| a crappy Pokemon to fight with (I think he/she had other Pokemon, |
| but I do not remember exactly). Clefairy is pretty much useless, and|
| can only put others to sleep using sing, using metronome, or using |
| the weak Double Slap Attack. |
| |
| In terms of the Galactic Pokemon, they are fairly annoying. |
| Fortunately, if you have a Psychic Pokemon, you can take out 2 of |
| the 4 easily. Beautifly and Dustox go down with fire attacks, so |
| use Monferno if you have him. Stunky is the pre-evolved form of |
| Stuntank, a Pokemon you fought earlier via a admin, so use the same |
| tactics you used against Stuntank. Croagunk is a new one, being one |
| of the only Pokemon with the Poison/Fighting type. Psychic works |
| great on it, and so does Ground attacks. |
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After you beat the galactic grunts, they will give Dawn back her Pokedex.
You will also now have access to the warehouse, where you can pick up HM02
(Fly), a powerful flying move that is similar to the move Dig. At this
point, you should head back to Heartrome and go on the now opened Route 212
(Which is south of the city).

Not much in the way of Pokemon. You can catch a Roselia easy now, so you
may want to do so if you need a decent grass type. Wooper is also available
which evolves into Quagsire: similar to Shellos in many ways. The route
itself is very interesting, since it is split into two parts: The long
stretched route from Hearthome that has security guards lurking around that
will battle you at night (A trainer type back from GSC!), and Pokemon
Mansion, a place where you can find some rare Pokemon. You can visit there
now, if you wish, but we will cover that later.
The second part of the route is raining like it was in Route 215, and now
has mud to annoy you. In truth, there is not much else on the route besides
Pokemon Mansion, so head on over to Pastora as soon as possible.

Pastora is a interesting place. Not only does it have the 4th gym, but it
also has the Great Marsh, the unique Safari game designed for DP. Anywho,
the Move Tutor is also located in this city. He will teach a Pokemon any
move it can learn as long as it has the proper level. However, you will
need a heart scale found in the underground, or wild Luvdisc (Which cannot
be found until much later). Ignore him for now.
The scarf man is a person found in the eastern most house, near the gate to
Route 213. He will give you certain scarfs if your Pokemon's contests stats
are maxed out in a certain area. Once again, not exactly something you can
do now.
The Great Marsh is a optional place you can hit for several rare Pokemon.
Like the previous safari games, you get 30 balls for 500p and around 500
steps to find certain Pokemon. The Pokemon change each day, and some
Pokemon can only be found in the great marsh (Like Croagunk). Also, you
might want to pick up the HM05 that the very first person you see in the
GM will give to you (A crappy HM that is very similar to Flash, and can
only be used mostly by birds). You will need it later, though.
There is also a berry lady in a house near the entrance to Route 212. She
will give you one of the newer berries each day, so you might want to talk
to her every day if you have been collecting berries. Once you are ready,
head to the Gym.

Well...Crap...Another annoying gym. This time, you have to press certain
buttons to make the water rise and fall. To get to Crasher Wake, here are
the directions:
- From the start, head forward and go on the left path and hit the Yellow
button to make the water drain all the way.
- From there, head down the steps to your right and then head on the path
until you are on a platform near the gym leader with a fisherman, and a
green button. Press it.
- Ignoring the yellow button, head on the right path and continue to a
platform with a sailor and a blue button. Press it.
- Head on the only path available and hit the green button at the end.
- Head to your right, and press the yellow button to drain it all the way.
- Continue to the northern path and head to the platform that has a sailor
and a blue button on it (near the gym leader). Press it.
- Finally, head right, ignoring the green button, and walk up to the gym
leader.
One recommendation is that you take care of all the trainers first, and
then go heal and come back and do the puzzle. Once you are ready, fight
Crasher Wake.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Crasher Wake |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Gyrados lv 27 (Water/Flying) |
|Quagsire lv 27 (Ground/Water) |
|Floatzel lv 30 (Water) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Maybe its just me, or Crasher Wake was always a pushover when |
| compared to your last gym battle (Doesn't help that his Pokemon |
| are the same levels). Anywho, lets break it down for you. |
| |
| Gyrados may be the most powerful Pokemon on his team. Gyrados does |
| not take as much damage from Grass attacks as other water Pokemon, |
| but takes almost crippling damage from electric attacks. Luxio |
| can take out Gyrados almost instantly if he is at a decent level. |
| |
| Quagsire is pretty much the opposite. It does not take ANY damage |
| from electric attacks due to its ground type, but takes crippling |
| damage from grass types due to its dual water/ground type. Grotile |
| or Torterra should be able to take if out easily. If you don't have|
| either, then use your strongest attacks on him. |
| |
| Even though Floatzel is his highest level Pokemon, its his weakest |
| Pokemon. Both electric and grass Pokemon do high damage to Floatzel|
| and it can pretty much be taken out by most higher level Pokemon |
| (Your Pokemon should at least be lv 25-32.) |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Luxio at at least lv 28 or so, Grotile|
| or Torterra at lv 28 and up, and possibly a backup of some sorts |
| (Such as Pikachu/Raichu, or a Roselia) at around lv 25 or so. |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| A reader named John was kind enough to send in this strategy: |
| |
| "Hi there, |
| |
| Just submitting an easier way to beat Crasher Wake than on your |
| guide. It requires the following: |
| -10+ Super Potions (shouldn't ever be without those anyway) |
| -2+ persim berries / lava cookies / full heals |
| -1x TM25 (Thunder) |
| -And one level 23 Gyarados (so it knows Dragon Rage) |
| |
| Technique: |
| |
| VS. Gyarados: You have 83 HP, and he doesnt have a whole lot more. |
| Use dragon rage twice, then two Super Potions. If he uses swagger, |
| immediately use a persim berry/lava cookie/full heal. Once he has |
| around 50-60% of his HP left, use Thunder. It wiped him out in one |
| hit for me. (Editor Note: One thunder should be enough to take out |
| Waker's Gyarados, in my humble opinion...) |
| |
| VS. Quagsire: Dragon Rage is your friend. If you got swaggered 3 |
| or 4 times vs. Garayados, use tackle as well, since it'll do decent|
| damage. Drops in about 3-4 hits depending on if Wake uses a super |
| potion on it (which he did against me). |
| |
| VS. Floatzel: 1x Dragon Rage, 1x Thunder... if it's still alive and|
| kicking after that, tackle it. Should end the battle around level |
| 24.5-25, depending how far into 23 you were when you started, with |
| only using one pokemon, and not even a high level one at that. |
| Result ;)" |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Man, Wake must be a popular Gym Leader! After the above was |
| submitted, another reader (A bit mad about the strategy above) |
| sent this strategy in (Note, it has been edited for clarity, |
| grammar, punctuation, and such. Also, he adivises this be used |
| for Monferno users): |
| |
| "Okay for one not to make whoever made the lil guide for the |
| battle with crasher wake feel bad. its just not easy and nor |
| is it any good." |
| |
| For one Dragon rage does 40 dmg regardless of stats... so if you |
| used 2 on his gyarados chances are you wont need to use thunder |
| just Dragon Rage it again. |
| |
| Plus seeing as Gyarados is Water/Flying its 4x the dmg if you |
| use any electric attack so a thunder from any pokemon around lvl |
| 20 is gonna fry that badboy up in 1 hit. So he made another |
| mistake... Swagger wont increase the damage that Dragon Rage does |
| either. Plus its a death wish for yourself. |
| |
| Using this guys strategy means using alot of super potions which |
| means youll need more than 10 which will cost you cash you need. |
| And it still probably wont see you through the match for one his |
| Gyarados would probably be faster and by the time you got 2 Dragon |
| Rages done and tried to heal he would have you locked in a healing |
| spree and there is no end to that. |
| |
| Now for Quagsire: I'm sorry, but it doesnt work either. What he |
| said is just bogus info. Dragon rage does only 40 dmg no more, no |
| less and if you get swaggered that much your probably already had |
| Gyarados faint. I'll end it here. |
| |
| Floatzel: If you did manage to get here again it should only take |
| 1 thunder, no Dragon Rage at all which still at 23-24. You dont |
| have any speed to compete with a floatzel and you did, you still |
| would not have the power to actually 1 hit it so you get hit with |
| Brine and probably be fainted again. |
| |
| Let me break it down right now into how the battle should go |
| |
| Gyarados: Luxio lvl 27: Spark-done he fainted |
| |
| Quagsire: Any pokemon with a grass attack... Monferno with Grass |
| Knot works well here it should be a one shot hit if |
| you've been training right. |
| |
| Floatzel: Luxio again spark- after a couple hits he should go down |
| respectively |
| |
| Look, Wake is a really an easy gym even if you chose Monferno. If |
| he is at around lv 27-28, he should be enough for Quagsire and any |
| smart player would know that Monferno with a grass move just makes |
| him all the better as a starter choice. You dont need to spend a |
| dime on this battle unless you have not trained a bit. |
| |
| |
| Its a good thought and might have worked for him but it is much |
| harder that he realizes and yours is quicker and easier of the |
| two. Again, no offense but Ive been playing since R/B/Y... I know |
| what I am talking about. |
| |
| Gym leader battle (previous easier strat) 5-10 minutes at least |
| Gym leader battle (my strat) 1-3 minutes easy. |
| |
| Cost: Depends on how much you use with his... over 10k at most |
| Cost: Depends on how much you use with mine... 2k at most |
| |
| Faster, easier, and less cost. Sorry to John, but keep trying to |
| improve your strats. |
| |
| Sorry, didn't mean to make anyone feel bad. You can post this as a |
| strat for Monferno users to include their starter into the battle |
| and making Quagsire take some heavy blows. Im not flaming, i'm |
| just stating the obvious. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After you beat Wake, you will get the Fen Badge and TM55, Brine. You will
also notice that the gym is still filled up with water. Well...thats your
problem (Hint: use the nearest yellow button and go from there).
Update: A reader was kind enough to send me this message:
"Hi Jason,
I read your faq/walkthrough on gamefaqs, that's a really fantastic
one. It helps me very much.
But here I want to tell you something you've got wrong.
After beat the Pastora Gym, you don't need to step any button to get
out. Just get out of the Gym by walking around the outer wall. There
is a way connected the entrance and the boss platform when the water
is full."
So yeah, appearntly, you can exit the Gym much easier that way. Head to the
Pokemon center and heal, and then go near the Great Marsh (Get HM05 if you
have not yet) and talk to the Galactic Grunt. He will run away, and then
you will run into your rival. RIVAL FIGHT!
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Rival |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 1 (If you choose Turtwig) |
|Starly lv 26 (Normal/Flying) |
|Buizel lv 25 (Water) |
|Roselia lv 25 (Grass/Poison) |
|Monferno lv 28 (Fire/Fighting) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 2 (If you choose Chimchar) |
|Starly lv 26 (Normal/Flying) |
|Roselia lv 25 (Grass/Poison) |
|Ponyta lv 25 (Fire) |
|Prinplup lv 28(Water) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 3 (If you choose Piplup) |
|Starly lv 26 (Normal/Flying |
|Buizel lv 25 (Water) |
|Ponyta lv 25 (Fire) |
|Grotile lv 28 (Grass) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: For some very strange reason, your rival has the EXACT same team |
| he did last time, only about 6-8 levels stronger. The fight is |
| so similar, that I won't even write a strategy for it. Fight him |
| the same way you did back in Hearthome. If you beat Wake pretty |
| easily, you should have no trouble. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After that mild annoyance is out of the way, go heal at the Pokecenter and
head on over to Route 213.

Route 213 is a pretty unremarkable route. So unremarkable, that the only
major new Pokemon is Wingull, a poor man's Gyrados. Catch it if you want,
and continue. Your main goal here is to pester the Galactic Grunt.
Keep walking on the route, and you will eventually find yourself on the
beach. There is also a house here that you can get a ribbon from if your
Pokemon has a high friendship rating with you, but you may want to ignore
that for now. Talk to the grunt on your way and he will run off again.
Continue on down the beach until you find a entrance...To a resort?
====================
||Hotel Grand Lake||
===========================================================================
If you want, you can heal yourself at the gatehouse by talking to the
guard. You can also get a new TM called Trick Room, which makes your
Pokemon go first for 5 turns (May want to save it for later. Don't want
to waste it on a useless Pokemon).
There is also a Restaurant here with changing trainers. However, it closes
fairly late at night, so you might not be able to do much here. Talk to the
grunt near the restaurant, and he will run off. Head north of the resort to
find Route 214.

Bunch of new Pokemon! Stunky is a diamond exclusive, while Sudowoodo is a
Pearl exclusive (Diamond players may want to pick up a Stunky or two for
Pearl players). Girafarig is also a new Pokemon, although its only major
advantage is its type. You can also now catch wild Gravler, although there
is little point in catching a wild one unless you want to trade it on the
GTS.
Anywho, continue down the route until you find the Galactic trainer again.
After all that running, he will finally fight you!

| normal type, one you have fought many times before. Just use your |
| strongest Pokemon. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once that is done, continue north and you will run into Cynthia again, who
will give you the Secretpotion (Small reference to Gold and Silver
versions). After you get the secret potion, it will now be time to finally
get those Psyduck to move off of Route 210!
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| For those who are having trouble finding Cynthia, a few things. Have|
| you beaten the Pastoria City gym yet? Did you come from Pastoria |
| or the Veilstone side? Did you encounter the Galactic Grunt several |
| times and eventually fight him? |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Continue north and you should be back in Veilstone. Heal, and head back to
215 via the left route. Continue until you reach 210 again, near the
Psyduck patch. Press A and they will move.

\------------------------------------------------------------/
Several new Pokemon. Machoke is one you might want to catch if you don't
want to train a Machop or want to trade on the GTS. Hoothoot and Noctowl
are both new Pokemon (Although very weak and should only be captured for
the Pokedex).
Anywho, the route itself is interesting. The first stretch of the route is
covered with long grass, meaning you will be unable to use your bike in it.
Second, there are several ninja trainers here that are hidden (Although
they are very weak).
Third thing you will notice is when you get farther up. Everything will be
foggy! This is a very annoying condition that will lower accuracy for both
your and your opponents Pokemon. You will need a bird Pokemon with Defog
(Gotten from the great marsh earlier) to clean everything up.
There is also a bunch of trainers on the bridge, so you might want to pack
some potions, revives, and such, since it will be a long trip. While you
can get to Celestic Town without Defog, it is recommended (Granted, if you
have came this far already, you might as well go through the fog instead
of going all the way back to Pastoria Town). Once you cross the bridge,
you will be in Celestic Town.

\-------------------------------------------/
Your typical small town, Celestic town is so small that it does not have a
Gym, nor does it even have a Pokemart! However, there is a shop in the
upper left corner that will sell you several rare items, including Quick
Balls, Dusk Balls, and Timer Balls. You can also talk to the man inside
at certain times to get a certain item (See the side quest section for more
info).
Your main goal, however, is the center of town where the Galactic Grunt is.
Heal at the Poke center, and go and fight him.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Galactic Grunt |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Beautifly lv 25 (Bug/Flying) |
|Croagunk lv 27 (Fighting/Poison) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Isn't this the same guy you fought earlier in Veilstone? Oh well, |
| he is pretty much the same. Beautifly goes down with fire and ice |
| and Croagunk goes down with ground and psychic attacks. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat him, a old woman will come up and thank you. You will then
give the charm Cynthia asked you to deliver earlier, and she will take you
inside the ruins. Once inside, she will explain and few things, and then
give you HM03, which is Surf. Teach it to one of your water Pokemon, since
it is one of the strongest Water attacks in the game besides Hydro Pump.
However, you cannot use it out of battle until you beat the Hearthome gym
leader, which will be your next destination.
Head outside to be greeted by Cyrus, the leader of Team Galactic, and then
heal at the Pokemon Center. If you want to head to a optional route, go
West of Celestic town to find the other half of Route 211. Otheriwse, head
back to Hearthome, and head to the Gym to find it occupied again!

The Celestic Side of Route 211 has a little bit more going for it then the
Eterna side, although you are still not required to go here in order to
finish the game. There is 4 berry trees here with a Pecha, Aspear, Iapapa,
and Grepa berries, as well as a Sweet Honey Tree that is reasonably close
to a flight area. In addtion, there are several decently leveled trainers
here, and a few evolved forms of Pokemon you have already seen. Once you
are done, head to the Hearthome Gym.

Get ready....for.....HHHHHHAAAARRRDDDCOOOORRREEEEE MMMMAAATTTHHH!!!
Anywho, this should be pretty easy if you have a 5th grade education
(Remember, stay and school and don't do drugs...well, at least until your
college years, ahem).
Getting back, I have no idea if this is randomly selected, or if its preset
for each game. Here is the problems and solution I get. Note that if you
get it wrong, you will have to fight a trainer.
Questions:
+--------------------------------------+
|#1: |
|Question: 3 plus 5 plus 7 is? |
|<2 ^16 >15 |
| |
|Correct answer is: 15 |
+--------------------------------------+
|#2: |
|Question: 12 plus 28 is? |
|<30 ^40 >50 |
| |
|Correct Answer is: 40 |
+--------------------------------------+
|#3: |
|Question: 3 times 13 is? |
|<39 ^93 >33 |
| |
|Correct Answer is: 39 |
+--------------------------------------+
|#4: |
|Question: The first room's answer? |
|<2 ^16 >15 |
|Correct answer is: 15 |
+--------------------------------------+
If you are too lazy to look, then the correct doors are: Right door, middle
door, Left door, right door. After the 4th door, you will be in Fatina's
room
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Fatina |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Drifblim lv 32 (Ghost/Flying) |
|Gengar lv 34 (Ghost/Poison) |
|Mismagius lv 36 (Ghost) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Fatina is a interesting gym leader. Her Pokemon type of choice, |
| Ghost, is one of the more exotic types in the game. Not only is it |
| resistant to normal and fighting attacks, but it has a strength |
| against psychic types. With me, I cheated a bit and used a Gengar |
| I got off the GTS that was around lv 50. However, this may be much |
| harder for you. |
| |
| First up, Drifblim is her weakest Pokemon, although it can absorb |
| a bunch of damage. Electric type attacks work best, so Luxio or a |
| electric type should be your Pokemon of choice. |
| |
| Gengar is pretty much her strongest, even if it is 2 levels below |
| her main Pokemon. Ghost types work best and is also weak against |
| Psychic attacks against a non-psychic type. Personally, I used my |
| own Gengar to fight hers. |
| |
| Mismagius is her strongest Pokemon, and the only one on her team |
| that is a pure Ghost type. The only thing that is strongly |
| effective against ghosts is other ghost types and Dark attacks. |
| Diamond players have the chance to catch Murkrow (and if you can |
| find a dusk stone, Honchkrow), while Pearl players have to settle |
| for either Gengar or their own Misdreavus or Mismagius. Best thing |
| to do? Use your strongest Pokemon (Empoleon with surf works well). |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Luxio at at least lv 30 or so, Gravler|
| at about lv 32 or so, Haunter or Gengar at a much higher level |
| (Lv 50 works well, get of GTS if you can), Murkrow and Honchkrow |
| at lv 32 or so. Any normal types also work well, since ghost |
| types cannot attack them. Also, it is highly recommended that you |
| do not use any Psychic types, since they are weak against Ghost. |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Here is a alternate strategy from Vyse505: |
| |
| "I found it battle to be really easy and managed to take down all |
| 3 of her pokemon with my lvl 32 Gyarados. When I went up against |
| Drifblim, I used a combination of Ice Fang (which Gyrardos learns |
| at lvl 32) and bite. For Mismagius, I just used bite and then |
| healed using moomoo milk ( you can get it at the house on route |
| 210), to bring my Gyarados back to full health. During the fight |
| with Gengar I also just used bite to win. |
| |
| But luck was on my side during the 3rd battle since Gyrardos |
| snapped out of his confusion state on his next turn and with that |
| fight I just used two super potions. The main fault with this plan|
| is the speed since her pokemon will more then likely get to attack|
| before you do and as I said before a little bit of luck may also |
| be needed, but a good backup pokemon would be Luxray at lvl 35 |
| with the move Crunch(that's when it learns crunch if you let Luxor|
| evolve at lvl 30 if not Luxor learns it at lvl 32). |
| |
| Crunch is a lot stronger then bite so it will really come in handy|
| against the other trainers and the gym leader her self, but like I|
| said I was able to beat her with just my lvl 32 Gyrardos. If your |
| Gyrardos isn't at that lvl battle the trainers in the gym since |
| they give out pretty decent exp. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat her, you will get the Relic Badge and TM 65, Shadow Claw. You
can also now surf outside of battle if you want. Your next destination will
be to go all the way back to Jublife City. Heal up at the Pokemon center,
make sure you have a Pokemon that can use surf, and then head head to the
upper left part of town to reach Route 218.

Although you could have entered this route at the beginning of the game,
you could not get far without surf. Now that you have it, you will be able
to get to a new (oddly placed) city. Anywho, Pearl players can now catch a
Glameow if they want (Catch a few for Diamond players), and Gastrodon is
now catch-able (Evolved form of Shellos). Pokemon can now be caught on the
water as well. Tentacool being a common new one (Still weak as ever,
though), while Pelipper can rarely be found.
Not much to do once you Surf across. You can battle a few trainers, but
that is about it. Head left to find the gate to Canalave City.

RIVAL FIGHT!
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Rival |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 1 (If you choose Turtwig) |
|Staravia lv 31 (Normal/Flying) |
|Buizel lv 32 (Water) |
|Heracross lv 30 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Roselia lv 32 (Grass/Poison) |
|Monferno lv 35 (Fire/Fighting) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 2 (If you choose Chimchar) |
|Staravia lv 31 (Normal/Flying) |
|Roselia lv 32 (Grass/Poison) |
|Heracross lv 30 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Ponyta lv 32 (Fire) |
|Prinplup lv 35(Water) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 3 (If you choose Pinlup) |
|Staravia lv 31 (Normal/Flying) |
|Buizel lv 32 (Water) |
|Heracross lv 30 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Ponyta lv 32 (Fire) |
|Grotile lv 35 (Grass) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Once again, not much is different in your rivals team. For some |
| odd reason, he decided to evolve his Staravia at this point, but |
| not his Buizel and Grotile...Anywho. The biggest change in your |
| Rival's lineup is Heracross, a Bug/Fighting Pokemon. Psychic and |
| fire work great against him, as well as a semi-resistant to ghost |
| (Meaning Haunter/Gengar would be a good choice). Otherwise, his |
| team is only 4-6 levels higher then the last time you fought him. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After you are done battling him, you will be able to explore the city a bit
more. The move deleter is located directly north of the Pokemart. He will
delete any move as long as it is not the Pokemon's last and only move.
There is a library that you will need to go to after you beat the Canalave
Gym, although there really isn't anything there at this point besides a few
interesting reads. You can also head to Iron Island using the boat in the
lower left part of town (More on that later). Once you are ready, head to
the gym.

Platform fun! You will pretty much have to fight almost every trainer due
to their location, but it is good EXP anyway. Here is how you get to the
Gym leader:
* Head to the right and head down the first turn you see. Ignore the first
three platforms you see, but get on the fourth.
* Head down the path to the next platform.
* Fight the trainer, and then continue to the next platform on the path.
* Head on the moving platform, and then head to the next platform.
* On the next area, head on the northern platform.
* Go past the first platform you see, and fight the next trainer. Get on
the upper most platform.
* Ride the next platform over. From this point on, it will pretty much be
straightforward. Keep going on the paths until you find a red platform,
which will bring you to the gym leader.
You might want to go back and heal before you fight the next Gym Leader,
Byron.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Byron |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Bronzor lv 36 (Steel/Psychic) |
|Steelix lv 36 (Steel/Ground) |
|Bastiodon lv 39 (Steel/Rock) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Here is a small fun fact: Byron is Rock's (The first gym leader) |
| father! Like his son, he prefers ground and rock Pokemon, but his |
| main type is Steel. |
| |
| On one hand, all of his Steel Pokemon have some of the highest |
| defenses in the game. On the other hand, their attack power mostly |
| sucks. Your pretty much going to do little damage unless you use |
| weaknesses against him. |
| |
| For RS players, Bronzor is like a pseudo Metagross. Not only that, |
| but its ability allows it to void any ground attacks used against |
| it. Fire is its only weakness, and there are very few fire Pokemon |
| available. Best Pokemon to use it your starter (As long as it |
| isn't Torterra). |
| |
| Steelix is a old fan favorite. Fortunately, compared to when you |
| first fought it in GS, it is far easier to take down. Water, fire, |
| fighting and ground attacks are all effective against. it. This |
| also means that all of your starters should be able to take it out |
| with no problem. |
| |
| Bastiodon is going to be a bitch...While it has a somewhat sucky |
| attack rating, its defense is one of the highest in the game, just |
| below Shuckles. Water, fighting and ground are recommended. Any |
| other type will do pretty poor damage to it (Fortunately, Fighting |
| and Water have the highest attack rating, since it does 4x damage +|
| STAB bonus if it is the highest type). Needless to say, all of your|
| starters will be able to take down Bastiodon just fine. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: your starter at around lv 40 or so, |
| Ponyta/Rapidash at lv 40 or so, fighting Pokemon such as Machoke |
| at lv 37 or so, and any water Pokemon (Such as Gyrados) at lv 38 or|
| so. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat Byron, you will get the Mine Badge and TM91, Flash Cannon.
After you beat Byron, head outside and your rival will tell you to go to
the library in the northwestern part of town. Head there, and you will find
your rival, Rowan, and his assistant. He will then tell you that the three
lakes are in trouble, and that you should investigate them.
Your first late will be Lake Valor, the one to the south of Veilstone. Fly
to Veilstone, and then go south near the Valor Lakefront. The path to the
lake that was blocked earlier will now be open.

|Info: Croagunk is the same as the others, while |
| dustox still has whirlwind and moonlight. |
| Beautifly has Mega Drain as its sole |
| attack moove. Psychic works well for the |
| two poison types, and electric or fire for|
| Beautifly |
\------------------------------------------------/
Lake Valor is full of Grunts that will be hard to dodge. Your main goal,
however, is to get to the Valor Cavern. Fight your way through, and enter
the cavern. Inside, you will have your first battle with Galactic Admin
Saturn.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Commander Saturn |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Kadabra lv 35 (Psychic) |
|Bronzor lv 35 (Steel/Psychic) |
|Toxicroak lv 37 (Fighting/Psychic |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: For a admin, Saturn can be as tough as a Gym leader if you are not |
| prepared. For Kadabra: dark, ghost, and bug attacks work best |
| (If you have a Mismagius, use that). Use the same strategy you used|
| against Byron's Bronzor for Saturns. Toxicroak is the evolved form |
| of the Croagunk's you have been seeing quite a bit. Psychic and |
| flying attacks are your best bet. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you are done here, you will need to fly over to Lake Verity (The lake
from the beginning of the game near Twinleaf town) to fix that lake.

\------------------------------------------------/
As soon as you get there, you will find Galactic goons all over the place.
However, you will have to fight in Double battles so be prepared. You can
head back to Twinleaf town to heal up, or you can continue to the edge to
fight the second Admin battle against Mars.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Commander Mars |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Golbat lv 37 (Poison/Flying) |
|Bronzor lv 37 (Steel/Psychic) |
|Purugly lv 39 (Normal) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Similar to Satun, only a bit stronger. Golbat pretty much goes down|
| with Psychic, Ice and Electric attacks. Bronzor is about the same |
| as the last one you fought, only 2 levels higher. Purugly is her |
| toughest one, and may be a pain in the ass to take down. If you |
| have a Infernape with a decent fighting type move on it, use it. |
| If you took out Saturn with no problems, then Mars should not be |
| that bad. However, you might want to take some potions and revives,|
| just in case. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat Mars, she will tell you that Lake Acuity will be under attack
as well. However, Lake Acuity is a lake you have never been to before! Not
only that, but it is located quite a ways away, near where the next gym is.
To get there, head to Celestic Town and then head on the route on the left.
Continue into Mt. Coronet, and head down the north path (Make sure you have
the Strength HM taught to one of your Pokemon. Once you are through the
cave, you should be on Route 216.

New Pokemon galore! Well, not quite, but this is your first time seeing ice
Pokemon. Snover is a interesting Ice/Grass type that nulls its weakness to
ice, but receives 4X damage from fire attacks. Sneasel is a dark/ice type
that now has a evolution (Although you cannot evolve it until after the
Elite Four). Might want to pick it up, since it is a fairly decent Dark
type.
You will also see that it is snowing in Route 216, a first. For some odd
reason, you will also be affected by the Hail condition that does a little
bit of damage each turn for every non-ice Pokemon.
If you want, there is a rest stop near the end of Route 216 at the only
home in the area. Heal up before you head on to Route 217.

Not much is different Pokemon-wise from Route 216, although you can catch a
Meditite if you want. Even then, you won't be able to catch any Pokemon
until the end of the route. For the most part, the route is hard to get
through due to the snow. You constantly have to press forward in some areas
since you go so slow, although there are fortunately not that many trainers
to battle.
Few things to note on this route: stick to the left of the route until you
come across a house. Go behind it on the right side and press A. You should
find HM08, Rock Climb. If you can't find it, make sure you are on the very
right of the house, not behind it (Think of the edge, from there move one
step to your right, look up, and press A).
The second thing to note is the snow covered rock found on the very right
of the route, near the end. You will know when you see it when you see
a bunch of grass with a stone not surrounded by grass in the middle. While
it is no use right now, you will need to use it later to evolve Eevee into
one of its new forms.
Your main goal in this route is to head north. The path to get further
on the route is to the left, so hug the left wall until you see a tree
blocking your path, and then go right until you see a path going forward.
You will now be in the grassy area, near Lake Acuity. One problem, though:
Galactic Grunts will be blocking your path until you get your 7th gym
badge. With that in mind, ignore the lake for now and head on the right
path until you read Snowpoint City.

For some odd reason, I always think of Majora's Mask when I hear this city.
Anywho, there is very little to do in this town right now besides a couple
of things. The town is in a X formation, with a building in each of the 4
points (Gym is in the middle, and the Snowpoint Temple is to the north).
You can't enter the temple at this point, so ignore it for now.
In the upper left house is a woman looking for a Medicham, that will gladly
trade you for a Haunter (!). Sadly, you get screwed over since the Haunter
is holding a ever stone, meaning it won't evolve when you trade. Tsk. The
other place of interest is the house in the upper right corner of town. The
old man inside will add a word to your vocabulary that you can use for
certain things. Weird... Anywho, once you are done in this rather boring
town, head over to the worst gym in the history of Pokemon.
Also, there is a small little event that happends at Snowpoint on very rare
occasions. There is a weather effect called Diamond Dust that looks
different then the normal snow that falls in Snowpoint. This generally
does not happen often, but you can see it on January the 12th each year if
you go to Snowpoint on that day.

This, my friends, is hell. In what may be a cruel trick on kids who thought
all the gyms would be about math and platform puzzles, comes the ANNOYING
ICE PUZZLE THAT YOU HAVE TO BREAK SNOWBALLS TO GET TO THE GYM LEADER!
Fortunatly, a reader named Paul Smith was kind enough to send me the
solution for this hellish Gym. All credit goes to him for this list:
===========================================================================
1. Go to the North East part of snow you're standing on.
2. Step right.
3. Step up.
4. Step up. (Through a snowball)
5. Step left.
6. Step down.
7. Step left.
8. Step left.
9. Step left (Trainer battle. Pokémon: Sneasel (level 37), Floatzel
(level 37)
10. Step down.
11. Step right.
12. Step down.
13. Step right. (Should be back at the begining)
14. Return to the North-East snow-pad, step up. (Through 3 snowballs)
15. Step right.
16. Step right.
17. Step down.
18. Step left. (Trainer battle. Pokémon: Golduck (level 36), Steelix (level
37), Pelipper (Level 35)
19. Step up.
18. Step left.
19. Step left.
20. Step left.
21. Step down. (Trainer battle. Pokémon: Snover (Level 39)
22. Step right.
23. Step down. (To beginning)
24. Step to the North-West snow pad.
25. Step up. (Through 2 snowballs)
26. Step left. (Trainer battle. Tentacruel (Level 37), Sneasel (Level 37)
27. Step up.
28. Step left.
29. Step down.
30. Step down.
31. Step right. (Through a snowball)
32. Return to beginning, go to the North-East snow-pad.
33. Step right
34. Step up.
35. Step up.
36. Step up.
37. Step left
38. Step left.
39. Step up.
40. Step right. (Trainer battle. Pokémon: Snover (Level 39)
41. Step right. (Through a snowball)
42. Step right. (Trainer battle (last one). Pokémon: Quagsire (Level 39)
43. Return to beginning, and again, go to the North-West snow-pad.
44. Step left.
45. Step up. (Four times)
46. Step right. (Through a snowball)
47. Return to Anton (The trainer to the right of the Gym leader), and stand
on the left snow-pad above him)
48. Step down.
49. Step left. (Through a snowball)
50. Step left.
51. Step up.
52. Step right. (Through the final snowball)
53. Return to beginning.
54. Align yourself in the middle of the entrance, and keep on going
forward. This will lead to the Gym Leader.
===========================================================================
On another note, the basic idea is to break the snowballs until you make a
path to the gym leader. You have three floor types: Ice that will always
move you the direction you were going, snow floors that will stop you, and
snowballs that will stop you if you are not fast enough, and break if you
are going at a certain speed and direction.
Also, you might want to get some potions and revives before you go to the
gym. Why? The puzzle resets if you exit. So...yeah. You might have to do it
twice if you want full HP/PP before facing the gym leader. Anywho, once you
do finally reach her, here is the 7th gym leader: Candice.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Candice |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Snover lv 38 (Grass/Ice) |
|Sneasel lv 38 (Dark/Ice) |
|Medicham lv 40 (Fighting/Psychic) |
|Abomasnow lv 42 (Grass/Ice) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: A very weird name...Anywho, Candice is a interesting Gym leader. |
| Not only is the majority of her Pokemon from Route 216 and 217, but|
| Medicham is not even a ice Pokemon! However, two of her Pokemon |
| are 4X weak against fire, so Infernape is a must if you want a easy|
| time. |
| |
| Snover is her first Pokemon, who is a Grass and Ice Pokemon. As |
| stated earlier, Fire will pretty much knock out Snover in one hit |
| most of the time. Fighting, poison, flying, bug, rock, and steel |
| attacks are also very affective against Snover. Your best bet would|
| be a Pokemon like Lucario (If you went to Iron Island and raised |
| Riolu), Infernape, or Empoleon with steel moves. |
| |
| Sneasel is another old favorite, which is the rare Ice and Dark |
| type. Fighting is 4X effective on it, while fire, bug, rock, and |
| Steel work well against it. Infernape works wonders, as well as |
| Machoke and Machamp. |
| |
| Medicham is the odd ball in her team that may cause some problems. |
| Flying and ghost attacks are the only ones that strongly affect it.|
| Mismagius for pearl players (or haunter/Gengar), or Staraptor is |
| recommended. |
| |
| Abomasnow is pretty much a souped up Snover that is much stronger |
| and 4 levels higher then Snover. Use the same tactics you used |
| against Snover. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Infernape at lv 40 or so, Rapidash |
| at lv 40 or so, Empoleon at lv 40 or so, Haunter/Gengar/Mismagius |
| at lv 37 or so (For Medicham), Lucario about lv 37 or so. Also, |
| bring some revived and potions. |
| |
| A user named Wraith36444 recommends the following: "Use a level 44 |
| to 46 Staraptor with Close Combat and Arial Ace on most of |
| Candice's Pokemon. Snover and Abomasnow go down easlily with Aerial|
| Ace, Close Combat Snesel, and use Aerial Ace on Medicham." (Note: |
| I would be careful, since Staraptor is partially weak to Ice moves |
| when fighting Candice). |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat Candice, you will get the icicle Badge and TM72, Avalanche.
Now that you finally have your 7th badge, you can now head to Lake Acuity
and finish up the task Rowan asked you to do. Head back to Route 217 and
head to the left until you see two Galactic grunts blocking the way. Talk
to them and they will move.

Nothing really new, just a mixture of older and Route 216/217 Pokemon. As
soon as you enter, you will see Jupiter just get finished battling your
rival. Uh oh...Guess you won't get to battle her this time. She also tells
you that their headquarters is in Veilstone, which is the place you should
fly to now. Head to the right of Veilstone and go up the steps where the
Galactic Building is and talk to the guard. He will drop the key for the
storage room. After that is done, return to the storage area to the left
of the galactic building where you found HM 02 (Fly).

\------------------------------------------------/
As soon as you enter, press A on the shutters to open them, and then
continue inside (You can also get a dusk stone at this point, so use
it if you have been leveling a Misdreavus or Murkrow).
Your first main goal should be to get the key. There are two grunts and a
scientist in the area, although you can avoid the scientist by hugging the
bottom wall. Keep heading to the right until you find a set of stairs, and
then head to the next area (You were in B2F, but are going to B1F right
now). On B1F, battle the grunt and continue up the next set of stairs to
1FL.
On the 1Fl, head down and to the left and battle the grunt you see there.
Past him is a set of warp panels. One of them leads to a dead end with a
item in the room (the right one). To continue on, use the left warp panel.
It will lead to a room with another warp panel in it, and then to a room
with stairs in it. Once you go up the stairs, you will be in 2FL.
Ignore the stairs and go to your left to find a warp panel. Use it to warp
to a room with stairs, and then go down the stairs to find a room with a
scientist and another set of stairs. Head down the stairs to end up in the
room with the Galactic Key. Keep going to your left, battle the grunt, and
then pick up the item ball to the left of the grunt on the other side of
the boxes, which contains the Galactic Key. With it in hand, open the
shutters to your left and exit to Veilstone.
Once in Veilstone, you might want to heal up on your way. Once healed, head
to your right and then go up to find a set of stairs that leads to a spiked
building. Go inside the left or middle door to enter the main hideout. Once
inside, head to the middle of the room and unlock the shutters, go up the
stairs past it. In the next big room, continue to the left until you see a
room with a TV, a bunch of chairs, and a warp panel. Jump on the panel.
You will now be a in a room with a set of stairs and two beds. If you need
to, press A next to one of the beds to heal your Pokemon. Once you are
ready, go up the stairs.
In the next room will be two galactic grunts that you can fight in a double
battle, or fight one-on-one by talking to them individually. Continue to
the left to find several warp panels. Take the one that is the leftmost and
continue on to a room with a set of stairs. Head up the stairs to be in the
Head Galactic room. Open the shutters....and you will find Cyrus. Time for
a boss battle!
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Cyrus |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Murkrow lv 40 (Dark/Flying) |
|Golbat lv 40 (Poison/Flying) |
|Sneasel lv 43 (Dark/Ice) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Fortunately, you should have gotten quite a bit of experience, so |
| it won't be too bad. For a major boss, Cryus is a bit weak, but you|
| may want to bring some items just in case. |
| |
| Anywho, you have pretty much fought these Pokemon before. Murkrow |
| goes down with ice, rock, and electric attacks. Golbat goes down |
| with Psychic, rock, electric, and ice attacks. Sneasel gets beaten |
| into oblivion with fighting and fire. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Luxray, Infernape, your own Sneasel |
| or Snover with ice attacks, and a strong physical attacker. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After beating Cyrus, he will give you the MASTER BALL and tell you that he
has no use for it. As always, there is only one master ball in the game
unless you win at the lottery.
You have one more fight ahead of you, so you may want to head back to the
bed room and heal up. If you are ready, head back to the Head Galactic
office and head to your right to find a warp panel. Head down the next room
to your right and then go up to find Saturn and the legendary trio. Time
for another boss battle!
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Commander Saturn |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Kadabra lv 38 (Psychic) |
|Bronzor lv 38 (Steel/Psychic) |
|Toxicroak lv 40 (Poison/Fighting) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Saturn is pretty much the same as he was at the lake you fought him|
| at, but 3 levels stronger. If you defeated Cyrus easily, then |
| you should have no trouble with Saturn. In fact, just do the exact |
| same thing you did to him at the lake, and you should be fine. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After you beat him, he will tell you to press the button, and then stuff
will happen. Anywho, Team Galactic and Cyrus will be at Mt. Coronet for a
final showdown.
However, stop for a moment and review your team. From this time out, the
battles are going to be much harder, and you will not be able to rest at
any Pokemon center for awhile. Make sure you have the following before you
head out to Mt. Coronet:
- All your Pokemon need to be at least lv 45 or so. Any lower and they will
have some difficulty.
- Make sure you have at least a rock, electric, or ice Pokemon when you go
to Mt. Coronet. Quite a few of the bosses you will be fighting will be
using flying Pokemon, so you can make your job easier by bringing one.
- Get as many revives and potions as you can. You will only be healed once,
and that is after one of the boss battles. You may want to bring some
repels along as well, to make the journey a bit faster.
- If you do not want to waste your Master Ball on the upcoming legendary
Pokemon, bring tons of Ultra Balls. About 50 or more should do it. You
will defiantly want the Master Ball for something else.
- Make sure you have a Pokemon that can use Surf, Rock Smash, Strength, and
Rock Climb. If you do not have Rock Climb, refer to Route 217 earlier in
the guide to find it. Bibarel will be the best choice, since he can use
pretty much all of them.
Once you are ready, head to Route 207 (From Eterna City and the bike route,
or from Oreburgh) and continue down the right to Mt. Coronet.

In actuality, there are not that many new Pokemon. In fact, I wouldn't even
recommend catching any at this point, since you have a long way to go. To
make the trip easier, I will break it down to you by floor.
==============================
||From Route 207 to the 2 FL||
===========================================================================
You could have gone in from the Hearthome or Oreburgh side as well, but it
would have been slower. Anywho, you should activate a repel and put your
highest level Pokemon in the front of your party.
The path is pretty straight forward until you get to a point where you can
jump over some cliff areas after coming down the second bridge. Instead, go
to the left and go down the stairs. The path is straightforward from there.
===========================================================================
============================
||From the 2 FL to Outside||
===========================================================================
In the next room, there is not much to do besides go up the next set of
stairs. In the 3 FL room, ignore the stairs to your right and continue up.
There are two Galactic Grunts here, so fight them and continue down the
path, which leads outside.
===========================================================================
===============================================================
||From the Outside Area to the L shaped room on the 4th floor||
===========================================================================
You can go one of two paths in the outside area, but the first is faster.
* You will wind up in a snow area outside. Head to the right, and then head
up. Ignore the stairs, and use Rock Climb. Head to the left and go in the
grass (Repel recommended) and go inside the entrance.
* The second way is the same as the first until using Rock Climb, but you
go to the right instead. You won't go into any grass when you enter the
entrance, but you have to surf over.
Anywho, once you are inside, make sure you are on the left side of the cave
(If you use the right entrance, surf over to the other side). Use rock
climb on the wall, and continue on. Fight the two Galactic Grunts and head
to the next doorway.
You will now be outside again. The path here is pretty straightforward,
although you will need some repel. Also, ignore the entrance to the right
when you head down into the pit and before you use rock climb. Once on the
other side, you will be in the L Room.
===========================================================================
=======================================
||From the L Room to the Spear Pillar||
===========================================================================
To be honest, the path from here to the Spear Pillar is pretty simple. Just
keep going down the paths you are going, defeat the 3 Galactic grunts, and
then stop in the room that has the single galactic grunt and exit that has
light shining through to the north.
Heal your Pokemon, and use any Ethers or PP restoring items to restore PP
to major moves. Save.
===========================================================================
====================
||The Spear Pillar||
===========================================================================
You will have to fight two grunts in a double battle before you continue.
Heal your Pokemon and save, and then go forward. You will find Mars and
Jupiter waiting for you. However, your Rival will help you in this fight.
DOUBLE BATTLE TIME!
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Commander Mars and Jupiter |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Mars Team: |
|Bronzor lv 41 (Steel/Psychic) |
|Golbat lv 42 (Poison/Flying) |
|Purugly lv 45 (Normal) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Jupiters Team: |
|Bronzor lv 41 (Steel/Psychic) |
|Golbat lv 41 (Poison/Flying) |
|Skuntank lv 46 (Poison/Dark) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: This, my friends, may be one of the hardest battles in the game. |
| Not only is this one of the few times you will have to face a full |
| team of 6 Pokemon, but their levels are pretty damn high. |
| |
| In terms of your rivals team at this point, he will always lead |
| with a Munchlax. The rest of his team is fairly evolved:his starter|
| will be at the highest evolved form and at lv 43. If he had a |
| Buizel, it will have evolved into a Floatzel. His Staravia will |
| now be a Staraptor. Otherwise, the rest of his team will be the |
| same and at around lv 40-43 |
| |
| The biggest problem with this battle is that you will pretty much |
| be fighting doubles most of the time. They lead off with Bronzor |
| (Use the same strategy you used against Bronzor earlier. Fire |
| works best). Golbat is one of the reasons I told you to bring |
| a rock, ice, or psychic Pokemon. Gravler/Golem, Sneasel, Kadabra |
| and Alakazam are all Pokemon that are very effective against the |
| two Golbats. |
| |
| The biggest difference in their teams is the trademark Pokemon they|
| always have. Both Purugly and Skuntank soak up a bunch of damage, |
| so be alert. Purugly is weak against fighting, while Skuntank is |
| weak against ground moves. Machamp, Infernape, and Lucario work on |
| Purugly, and Golem and other ground Pokemon on Skuntank. Otherwise,|
| use your best attackers on them. Also, be careful of using moves |
| like Surf and Earthquake, since it will damage your rival's Pokemon|
| as well. |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| |
| Paul Smith was kind enough to send in info on the double battle |
| with Mars and Jupiter. |
| |
| "So, if you chose a chimchar, at the beginning of the game, this |
| alternate battle-guide will help you lots more. For this, you will |
| need one level 57 Infernape. Thats all. Nothing else.. :).. Well...|
| This guide assumes that you have Mach Punch, Flame Wheel and Flare |
| Blitz. |
| |
| After your foes launch their Pokémon from their balls, send out |
| your Infernape, use Flame Wheel on one, and this should OHKO it. |
| Your rival will attack the other one, taking around half the |
| heath away. If Mars/Jupiter launch Golbat, use Flare Blitz on |
| it. It should OHKO it, you will also recieve re-coil damage, but |
| it's better than Golbat's confuse ray, which can do damage. in the |
| long run. |
| |
| Whilst you were owning Golbat, chances are that the Bronzor is dead|
| and down for the count. If not, still ignore it as Purugly/Skuntank|
| are way more of a threat. They both will take damage to Flame Wheel|
| easily, so use it. |
| |
| If Bronzor still isn't dead, I suggest you launch your next attack |
| on your rival's pokémon. (Please don't do it! It was a joke!). |
| Prioritize the death of Golbat. He is the pokémon you should be |
| wary of." |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After the battle, your Rival will restore your Pokemon's HP and PP. Save,
and fight your next battle: Cyrus.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Cyrus |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Honchkrow lv 45 (Dark/Flying) |
|Crobat lv 46 (Poison/Flying) |
|Gyarados lv 45 (Water/Flying) |
|Weavile lv 48 (Dark/Ice) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: At nearly 4 or so levels higher then the last battle, Cyrus is a |
| beast. If you took my advice earlier and brought a Electric or |
| Ice Pokemon at at least lv 45, you should be fine. However, don't |
| be stingy on revives if one of your main attackers falls. |
| |
| Honchkrow, Crobat, and Gyrados are all part flying, which means |
| a strong Pokemon with Thunderbolt or Thunder should be able to |
| wipe the floor on these three Pokemon. However, Crobat is a very |
| powerful Stage 3 Pokemon that can screw you up if you do not attack|
| it fast. Also, Gyrados has the Intimidate ability, which cuts your |
| attack. |
| |
| Weavile is going to be the biggest pain in the ass, however. Not |
| only is it about 3 levels higher, but it has a extremely high |
| attack with a bunch of Physical attacks. If you have a Pokemon with|
| high defense that isn't weak against Weavile, bring it out (Also, |
| if you have your own Gyrados or a Pokemon with Intimidate, bring |
| it out to drop its attack). Fighters work best against Weavile, as |
| well as Infernape. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Luxray with electric attacks such as |
| Thunderbolt and Thunder at about lv 45 or so, Infernape at lv 45 |
| or so with a strong Fighting attack. Any sort of fighting and |
| electric types work best. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After the battle, Cyrus will run off. Make sure you Heal and Save, because
you have one more battle. Legendary Pokemon time!
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Legendary Pokemon Palkia or Dialga |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Level 47 |
|Dialga: Steel/Dragon |
|Palkia: Water/Dragon |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: This is something I am sure many of you have been waiting for. |
| Diamond players will fight Dialga and Pearl players will fight |
| Palkia. |
| |
| You might be exhausted from the battle you just fought, since I am |
| sure you went all out against Cyrus. If you are low on PP, use a PP|
| restoring item now. Both Pokemon have Dragon Claw and Ancientpower |
| and a special move (Roar of Time for Dialga and Spacial Rend for |
| Palkia). The only major difference is the other attack: Palkia has |
| Water Pulse, while Dialga has Metal Claw. |
| |
| So, how do you damage them? Best thing to do is use your best |
| attacker and gauge how much damage it does. Your main goal is to |
| get them down to a small amount of health, about 10% or so. If |
| you have a Pokemon that knows Thunder Wave or a Sleep move, use it |
| to make them easier to capture. |
| |
| You can use the Master Ball if you want, but both have medium |
| capture rates, so you should have no problem. On my second try, I |
| got them with just 9 Ultra Balls used. |
| |
| A reader was kind enough to send me a helpful strategy that you can|
| use just by catching a Machoke in Mt. Coronet: |
| |
| "I found a good tip for catching Palkia. If you have a Machoke |
| around level 40, it should have Revenge. If not, then too bad. |
| But if it does, use Revenge. while Palkia still has good health, |
| as long as it didn't kill Machoke in one hit. Revenge should get |
| it at extremely low health without killing it. I caught it with |
| a net ball after trying with 2 ultra balls. It was way easier than |
| yours (no offense).....and I found it by accident." |
| |
| Another person by the name of Stupider339 was kind enough to send |
| in this tip: |
| |
| "I have found a much faster way to catch Dialga. Just make sure |
| that you have a quick ball. Use it on the first turn. And you will|
| have a pretty good chance getting it. I found that out because I |
| was argueing with my sister on whether or not to use the master |
| ball. She say yes i say no. So we decided that we use the quick |
| ball first. If it failed then use the master ball. I won the |
| arguement. So using the quick ball on the first turn works like |
| a master ball but it can fall." |
| |
| And now, a explanation on why it is a good idea to use it: The |
| Quick Ball has a 4x chance rate of capture when you use it in the |
| first 5 turns. Unlike other legendaries, Dialga and Palkia have a |
| catch rate of 45: very high for a legendary and common for most |
| bigger Pokemon. However, I recommend at least weakening it on the |
| first turn before you do anything |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Whether you capture them or defeat them (Which you should not have done),
you are finally done with Mt. Coronet. if you caught them, head over to the
other side and pick up the Adamant Orb in Diamond and Lustrous Orb in Pearl.
Both make Dialga and Palkia's type attacks much more powerful (Steel/Dragon
for Dialga, and Water/Dragon) for Palkia).
Leave Mt. Coronet, and head to Veilstone. Head to the Valor Lakefront, and
then go to the right where it was once blocked. You can now enter Route 222.

Not much new. You can catch wild Mr. Mime in Diamond, and Purugly in Pearl.
This is also one of the few places you can catch a Chatot (Mostly a gimmick
Pokemon), so get one for the Pokedex.
Bunch of trainers on the route, although they are mostly fisherman. There
is a couple of houses on the beach to explore as well. One has the Pikachu
fan club, which has a single Pikachu Trainer inside. The house next to it
is a fishing competition for Remoraid: catch a big one and you will get a
net ball (Not worth the effort). Once you are done, head to the right to
find the gatehouse for Sunyshore.

Pretty much the largest city in the game, Sunyshore has several things you
can do to spend your time. As soon as you enter, however, you will meet a
new person: Flint of the Elite Four. He pretty much tells you that the Gym
Leader for this town is down in the dumps about something, and wants you to
help him.
Before that, lets venture around. If you head to the place that is a little
north of the Pokemart, you will find a sticker mart. If you have a Sticker
Case (You can find one in Solaceon Town), you can buy stickers that appear
on certain days. In the same place, a lady will give one of your Pokemon a
ribbon called the "Effort Ribbon" if they have maxed out EVs (Good way to
tell if you have max EV's or not). However, it needs to be the lead
Pokemon.
After you beat Volkner, if you head all the way north, you will find a
familiar face...Jasmine from Pokemon Gold and Silver! Talk to her, and
she will give you HM07 Waterfall.
In the upper left part of town is a house that has a girl inside that
will give you a ribbon each day if you choose a word. I have no idea if it
needs to be a certain word, or if it can be random (for example, I said
ROFL when she asked me about being absentminded).
If you head north of the lighthouse in the southeastern part of town, you
will find a cliff you can use rock climb on. If you do, then you can enter
a house with a man that will give you (Mostly useless) Poketech APPs if you
show him Pokemon of certain natures (look at the Poketech section for more
info).
Once you are done, head over to the Lighthouse that is in the Southeastern
part of down (You need to be on the second level of the city to reach it).
Enter it, and go up the elevator. Once you are on the top floor, you will
find the Gym leader being emo...Talk to him and he will go back to the Gym.
Head back to the Pokemon center and save, get some items, and prepare for
your last gym battle.

Don't you always hate the electrical gyms? Anywho, Volkner's Gym is a odd
set of moving platforms that you have to align to get past. Not only that,
but you will be fighting pretty much every single underling he has, so be
prepared. Here is the solution to get to Volkner:
==============
||First Room||
===========================================================================
* Head on the platform and press the Green button once and then get off the
platform from the bottom.
* Get on the other platform and press the green button to create a path to
the ledge with the door and trainer.
===========================================================================
===============
||Second Room||
===========================================================================
* Go in the only open platform and press the Blue button three times. Get
off from the newly created path afterward.
* Head on the left platform and go all the way around, fight the trainer,
and then get on the platform and press the blue button once to create a
path.
* Get on the next platform and press the green button to create a path. Get
off on the right side and head over the gear platform and to the ledge
with the door on it.
===========================================================================
==============
||Third Room||
===========================================================================
* Get on the platform and press the Red button once, and then get off the
platform and go to the one to the left.
* On the next platform, press the red button once and then get off. Fight
the trainer, and then go over the gear bridge to the other side. There
will be another trainer to fight. Beat him, and get on the platform with
the Green button.
* Press the Green button three times, and then continue down the path that
was created. Press the blue button until a path to the north to the next
ledge is created.
* Head to the right and then down, defeating the trainer and going over the
gear bridge. Head down to the bottom and go on the platform on the right
and press the Red button once. get off it afterward, and go back over the
gear bridge on the right that you just came from.
*After this, a path to Volkner will be created.

|Boss: Volkner |

|Pokemon: |
|Raichu lv 46 (Electric) |
|Ambipom lv 47 (Normal) |
|Octillery lv 47 (Water) |
|Luxray lv 49 (Electric) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Volker may be the most black sheep of the Gym Leaders yet, having |
| two Pokemon that are not even his gym type. However, they do have |
| Electrical attacks, so be prepared. |
| |
| On one hand, however, you should be pretty strong by now. Volkner |
| is nowhere as tough as Cyrus was on the Spear Pillar, meaning your |
| current team should be able to handle him if you have been training|
| them right. |
| |
| First up, Raichu and Luxray. Both are pure Electric types, and both|
| fall to Ground attacks. Not only that, but their electric attacks |
| will be pretty useless against them. Torterra, Golem, fossil |
| Pokemon, and any Pokemon with Dig should be able to handle them |
| easily. |
| |
| Octillery is a odd case. It is a water Pokemon, so any ground |
| types you might have been using to kill Raichu will pretty much be |
| screwed against it. Once again, Torterra and any grass Pokemon |
| should be able to handle it easily (If you use Luxray, use it now).|
| |
| Ambipom is another case of odd types, being a normal one. Fighting |
| and Ghost Pokemon with other typed attacks besides Ghost attacks |
| work well against it. Once again, Torterra should be able to |
| kill it in a few turns with Earthquake. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon are: Torterra, Golem, Luxray for Octillery, |
| and possibly Dialga if you caught him while playing Diamond. Also, |
| you may not want to use Infernape or Empoleon, since both have |
| weaknesses during this battle. All your Pokemon should be lv 45-50.|
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you beat him, you will get the beacon Badge and TM57, Charge Beam. Now
that you have all 8 badges, your last task will be to get to the Elite
Four. Only a route and one more dungeon stands in your way. Also, after you
beat Volkner, go to the northmost part of Sunyshore to find Jasmine from
Gold/Silver/Crystal standing on the beach. Talk to her and she will give
you HM07, Waterfall.
Before you head off, make sure you have a Pokemon that can use Strength,
Surf, and Rock Smash, and Waterfall. You may want to bring some repels
just in case. When you are ready, head north of Sunyshore and surf forward.

Nothing new, besides Mantyke. May want to catch him for the Pokedex, since
there are no wild Mantine to get.
Route 223 is a fairly straightforward route with a bunch of trainers and
wild Pokemon (Part of the reason I said to get Repel). Route 223 is so
straightforward that you just need to keep going north until you hit a
small bit of land that you can walk on. When you reach it, head left and
around the side until you can surf north again. Eventually, you will reach
a waterfall you will need to climb.
Once you are on the other side of the waterfall, heal at the Pokemon Center
and make sure your team is in order. You will have to get though Victory
Road before you can reach another Pokemon Center, so make sure you have
repel, potions, and revives. Once you are ready, head into the cave.

Like Mt. Coronet, lets break down the path you are going to have to take.
Note that you are going to be facing some strong trainers, many of which
you may want to fight now for EXP (and for Pokedex purposes, you will see
why later). Here is the path you will need to take:
=============
||1st Floor||
===========================================================================
Use a repel if you want, and then head over the bridges until you get to a
dead end with a Rock Climb area on your right. Use rock climb to get down,
and then head to your left. Continue left until you see a set of stairs,
and then go up them. Go north, fight the trainer, and then look for a set
of stairs on your left. Go up them to find a set of stairs leading to the
next level of the cave.
===========================================================================
=============
||2nd Floor||
===========================================================================
When you head left, you will see a pair of breakable rocks to your left and
south. Break the southern rocks with Rock Smash, and continue south. You
will eventually see three boulders you will need to use Strength to move.
Move the right one down one, the left one to the left, and move the final
boulder below them down until you can go left.
When you head left, you will find another boulder puzzle. Head on the upper
left path above the two boulders and push the left one down one, creating a
path to the left. Continue around until you find a breakable rock, and use
Rock Smash. Move the boulder that is in front of you up, and then continue
to your right, and then down.
Use rock smash on the rock, and continue down and then right until you see
three boulders in a triangle formation. Move the top one to your right, and
then go up the path. Fight the trainer, and then go down the stairs.
===========================================================================
===================
||1st Floor again||
===========================================================================
Head to your right, going across the bridge, and then use Rock Climb to go
down (WARNING: Be careful about the ledge below. If you jump over it for
some reason, you will have to do the steps from the 1st floor back to this
point). Once you are at the bottom, go left, then up, and then right. Fight
the trainer, and then head down the stairs.
===========================================================================
==================
||Basement Floor||
===========================================================================
Head to your right, down the stairs, and then go north until you see water.
Surf to the small bit of land to the right, fight the trainer, and then
continue going north until you reach a waterfall. Go up the waterfall, and
then head left. Fight the trainer, and then surf again. Go right, and then
down until you get on land again. Go up the stairs.
===========================================================================
===================
||1st floor Again||
===========================================================================
Head left, fight the trainer, and then go down after you fight the old man
trainer. Once at the bottom, head right to find a rock climb wall, go up,
and fight the trainer. Go over the bridge, and head to the other side to
find the exit.

Before I get into a strategy, lets do one more thing so we have plenty of
time to do what we want. Make sure you heal at the front, and walk toward
the entrance to the guy blocking the door. RIVAL FIGHT!
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Rival |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 1 (If you choose Turtwig) |
|Staraptor lv 48 (Normal/Flying) |
|Floatzel lv 49 (Water) |
|Heracross lv 50 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Roserade lv 49 (Grass/Poison) |
|Snorlax lv 51 (Normal) |
|Infernape lv 53 (Fire/Fighting) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 2 (If you choose Chimchar) |
|Staraptor lv 48 (Normal/Flying) |
|Roserade lv 49 (Grass/Poison) |
|Heracross lv 50 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Rapidash lv 49 (Fire) |
|Snorlax lv 51 (Normal) |
|Empoleon lv 53(Water) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 3 (If you choose Pinlup) |
|Staraptor lv 48 (Normal/Flying) |
|Floatzel lv 49 (Water) |
|Heracross lv 50 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Rapidash lv 49 (Fire) |
|Snorlax lv 51 (Normal) |
|Torterra lv 53 (Grass) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: As you can see, your Rival has leveled his Pokemon up quite a bit |
| since your last encounter, not to mention they are now all at |
| their highest evolution. In truth, you may want to gage how well |
| you do against your rival against how ready you are. You should |
| be around level 47-50 at this point. |
| |
| Staraptor, Empoleon, and Floatzel all go down with electric |
| attacks. Staraptor also goes down with rock and ice, Empoleon goes |
| down with fighting, and Floatzel goes down with grass attacks as |
| well. Luxray is good for all three, but Torterra is good for taking|
| out Floatzel (May not want to use him against Empoleon, if you got |
| him on the GTS or via a trade). |
| |
| Heracross, Roserade, Torterra, and Infernape go down with flying |
| moves. Heracross, Torterra, and Roserade also go down with fire |
| attacks, so Infernape is your best bet. Infernape itself goes down |
| with water and ground attacks as well, so use Empoleon, Gyrados, |
| Golem, or whatever you have against him. Water and Ground attacks |
| also work well against Rapidash |
| |
| Finally, Snorlax is going to take up a bunch of damage. You might |
| want to use your starter or a high level ghost type, so it doesn't |
| damage you as much. Fighting attacks also work extremely well |
| against Snorlax. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Luxray at lv 47 or above, Staraptor |
| or another flying Pokemon at lv 47 or above, your starter at lv |
| 50 or so, Gengar at lv 48 or so, Golem or another ground Pokemon |
| at lv 48 or so. Machamp or Lucario at lv 48 or so. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After that, your rival will get mad and leave. Now, lets get to business,
making a team to defeat the elite four!
================================
||Preparing for the Elite Four||
===========================================================================
Obviously, things will be different for everyone depending on how you have
made your team up until this point. There is four elite four member types:
Bug, Ground, Fire, and Psychic.
Out of the two, only 2 of them use Pokemon that are not resistant of ones
of their type (Bug and Psychic). The other two use types that cover their
weaknesses somewhat. The final trainer uses a ghost/dark type that does not
have a weakness, a grass/poison, a water/ground, a water, a fighting/steel,
and a dragon/ground.
If you have been training the legendary you got from Mt. Coronet, then you
should have a easier time then most. Otherwise, you may have to battle the
Elite Four several times before you have enough levels to beat them. The
lowest level Pokemon is lv 53, while the highest is lv 66.
First, you need a type that can take a beating from the majority of the
Pokemon. In my opinion, Ghost types work well for the first time you fight
the Elite Four. If you have been raising a Drifblim, then you should be
doing pretty good. Not only that, but putting a move such a Toxic on it will
make things easier (Although slow). Gengar is also another choice, although
you will have some difficulty from Bertha, Lucian, and the champion due to
its Poison type.
Next, a strong attacker. For me, the first time I did the Elite Four, I had
all three starters that I got over the GTS. This gives you both strengths
and weaknesses. For example: Empoleon is a water/steel type, but takes
normal attacks from fire type attacks since it is part steel. Torterra takes
4X damage from Ice attacks, and Infernape has a weakness against psychic and
flying attacks.
The following list is a general idea of what you should have on your team
while fighting the elite four:
* Legendary Pokemon Palkia or Dialga at around lv 55 or so.
* Infernape at lv 57 or so, or Rapidash at the same level
* Torterra at lv 57 or so, or Golem/Grass Pokemon like Roserade at the same
level
* Empoleon at lv 57 or so, or Gyrados/Steelix at a similar level
* Drifblim at lv 58 or so, or Gengar at the same level
* Optional, such as one of the legendary trio or Lucario, Machamp, or a ice
Pokemon
The most important attacks to have are: One strong grass attack with a bunch
of PP (Such as Razor Leaf), Surf, Ice Beam on at least one of your Pokemon,
a strong fire attack on one of your Pokemon (Such as Flamethrower) Psychic
on one of your Pokemon, a status effect move such as Thunder Wave or Toxic
(Toxic works best in desperate situations, thats how I defeated the champ
the first time), Shadow Ball, and maybe Thunderbolt. Note that many of these
can be gotten from the game corner in Veilstone.
The next step will be to buy items. Sell any Pokeballs you have to have
enough cash, but do not sell any berries or items (Such as, say special move
increasing items). Buy as many Revives, Full Restores, Potions, and status
curing items that you can. In fact, you might want to hop over to the Cafe
on Route 210 and buy some MooMoo Milk, since it restores 100 HP (Cheap
solution to Full Restores outside of battle).
Once you feel you are ready, go talk to the guy blocking the door and he
will move as long as you have all 8 Badges. It is time for the final story
challenge in the game!
===========================================================================
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Aaron |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Dustox lv 53 (Bug/Poison) |
|Beautifly lv 53 (Bug/Flying) |
|Vespiquen lv 54 (Bug/Flying) |
|Heracross lv 54 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Drapion lv 57 (Poison/Dark) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Being the first member of the Elite Four, Aaron has many common |
| weaknesses. If you have been training your Pokemon like you should,|
| then you should have no major problems. |
| |
| First up, Both Beautifly and Vespiquen are bug/flying types, so |
| Rock, Fire, Ice, and Electric attacks are your best bet. Vespiquen |
| mostly uses Power gem, while using Attack order and defend order |
| as support moves, while having Heal Order as a healing move. |
| Beautifly has Psychic and Shadow Ball, so any fighting types like |
| Infernape and Ghost types such as Drifblim and Gengar will have |
| issues. |
| |
| Dustox and Heracross both have a weakness against fire, flying and |
| Psychic attacks. Dustox is mostly a status increases and effect, |
| since is has Toxic, Bug Buzz, Light Screen, and Double Team. |
| Heracross is more of a physical attacker, with Megahorn, Night |
| Slash, Close Combat, and Stone Edge. This puts Psychics, normal |
| types, ghost types, and flying Pokemon in a bind. Best thing to |
| do here is use fire. |
| |
| Drapion is his final Pokemon, being the only member of his team |
| that is not a Bug Pokemon. For the most part, it is mostly a |
| Physical sweeper, with a bunch of different typed moves, such as |
| Ice Fang, Cross Poison, X-Scissor, and Aerial Ace. This puts flyers|
| ground, and fighting Pokemon in their place. Best thing to use |
| against Drapion is your best attacker, or a ground Pokemon that |
| has high defense. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Alakazam at lv 55, Infernape at lv 57,|
| Torterra or Golem at lv 57 or so, and maybe Gengar or Drifblim at |
| lv 55 or so. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
If you took major damage, then you might have a issue...Heal with items,
save, and then continue on to the next room.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Bertha |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Quagsire lv 55 (Ground/Water) |
|Sudowoodo lv 56 (Rock) |
|Golem lv 56 (Ground/Rock) |
|Whiscash lv 55 (Water/Ground) |
|Hippowdon lv 59 (Ground) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Bertha is one of the few Elite Four members that has sort of a |
| odd team. Not only does she have 4 ground types, but two water |
| and rock types as well. This pretty much means that her entire team|
| is bait for grass attacks. |
| |
| First, lets start with Quagsire and Whiscash. Quagsire is more of a|
| stall and defense Pokemon, since it likes to use Protect a bunch |
| as well as Dig. It can also use Double Team and Sandstorm, but |
| I did not see it use it that much. Whiscash is more of a physical |
| attacker, with Fissure (Instantly KOs, but has a crappy hit percent|
| amount), Zen Headbutt (One it likes to use the most), Rock Slide, |
| and Aqua Tail. Oddly enough, there are a bunch of moves against |
| other ground Pokemon, but not against Grass. Torterra or Roserade |
| works wonders with Razor Leaf, often killing them in one hit. |
| |
| Sudowoodo is her most common next Pokemon, being the only pure rock|
| Pokemon available on her team. It mostly uses Earthquake and Hammer|
| Arm, but can use Sandstorm and Sucker Punch as well. Once again, |
| Sudowoodo has little defense against grass Pokemon, but a Pokemon |
| like Empoleon and Gyrados works quite well against it with Surf. |
| |
| Golem and Hippodon are her last two Pokemon, being Ground types |
| with Golem also being a Rock type. Golem is more of a physical |
| attacker with Earthquake, brick break, and Gyro ball (I mostly |
| see it use Earthquake and Brick Break, though). Hippodon is a |
| beast, being her highest level Pokemon and using Curse to lower |
| its already crappy speed to make its attack and defense higher, and|
| then use Earthquake and Crunch. Not only that, but its Pokemon |
| ability allows it to call up a sandstorm when it wants. Best |
| Pokemon to use it Torterra or a similar grass type with Razor Leaf |
| or a Empoleon. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Torterra at lv 57 or so, Empoleon or |
| Gyrados at lv 58 or so. Also, any Pokemon that has grass attacks or|
| can use surf against the non-water types works well. |
| |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| A reader named Erius recommended the following: |
| |
| "You will need an Azelf with Nasty Plot and Extrasensory. Put him |
| in first slot before fighting Bertha. The actual fighting is |
| quite simple: Use nasty plot 3 times, and then use Extrasensory |
| to kill ALL remaining bertha's pokemon. |
| |
| Don't worry, you WON'T die while doing the nasty plot. Her |
| Quagsire is there only for stall and can't kill you. And no, |
| don't replace extrasensory with future sight. You WILL die if you |
| do that confusion maybe okay but I haven't calculated the damage |
| yet." |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
If you had trouble with Bertha, then you are going to have bigger trouble
in a little bit. Heal and save, and go on through.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Flint |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Rapidash lv 58 (Fire) |
|Steelix lv 57 (Steel/Ground) |
|Drifblim lv 58 (Ghost/Flying) |
|Lopunny lv 57 (Normal) |
|Infernape lv 61 (Fire/Fighting) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: In what may be one of the oddest, and best teams a normal Elite |
| Four member has ever had, Flint is the only one that only uses less|
| than his type. However, note that the two fire Pokemon he does have|
| are the only fire Pokemon available in Sinnoh right now. Not only |
| that, but he is one of the few Elite Four members to use a Starter,|
| the other two being your rival from RBY and Lance from GSC. |
| |
| Lets begin. Rapidash is a powerhouse, being a speedy Pokemon that |
| can use Sunny Day and Solar Beam to cause issues for any ground |
| and water Pokemon. Not only that, but flare blitz can cause some |
| serious damage if you let it. However, it also likes to use bounce,|
| a odd fly and dig type move that takes two turns, with you missing |
| most of the time. Best thing to use is a powerful water type that |
| can take a Solar Beam, such as Empoleon or Gyrados. |
| |
| Steelix is a odd choice, since most of his attacks are pretty weak |
| and do not have any steel types. It can use Fire Fang, Rock Tomb, |
| and Sunny Day, but prefers to use Sunny Day and use screech most of|
| the time, for some strange reason. Water and fighting types work |
| best, such as your own Infernape or Empoleon. |
| |
| Lopunny is another odd case. It only has one main damaging attack, |
| and then charm, sunny day, and Mirror Coat. However, for the |
| oddest reasons, it never likes to use Mirror Coat that much, |
| preferring to use charm and sunny day most of the time. Use a |
| fighter, like Infernape. |
| |
| Drifblim is a very odd choice, since it cannot really attack all |
| that much! Besides ominous wind, it can use Double Team and Will-O |
| Wisp to burn you, and then Baton Pass (Which is sometimes does |
| randomly). Electric types, such as Luxio and Ghosts such as Gengar |
| work very well. |
| |
| Finally, Infernape is his last Pokemon, and his most powerful. |
| It is a Physical Sweeper with Flare Blitz, ThunderPunch, Mach Punch|
| and Earthquake. That means it can take on grass, ground, water, |
| and electric Pokemon! Best to use a flyer, such as Staraptor. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Staraptor at lv 57 or so, Infernape at|
| lv 60 or so, Empoleon at lv 60 or so, and Luxio at lv 58 or so. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once again, heal and continue to the next room.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Lucian |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Mr. Mime lv 59 (Psychic) |
|Girafarig lv 59 (Normal/Psychic) |
|Medicham lv 60 (Fighting/Psychic) |
|Alakazam lv 60 (Psychic) |
|Bronzong lv 63 (Psychic/Steel) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Lucian is one of the few that sticks to his type, being the only |
| Elite Four member that has all Psychic Pokemon. However, he does |
| cover his weaknesses well. |
| |
| Mr. Mime is pretty much the weakest on his team, mostly using |
| defense moves such as Reflect and Light Screen. For some strange |
| reason, it also has Thunderbolt as well as the typical Psychic. |
| Dark and Ghost type attacks work well, although Gengar is weak |
| against Psychic and Drifblim is weak against Thunderbolt (Use a |
| Mismagius if you have it). Torterra or Luxray with a dark type |
| move may work best. |
| |
| Medicham is his psychical sweeper, using all punches (Thunder, fire|
| ice, and drain punch). This means that ice, grass, water, flying, |
| steel and such are weak against Medicham. Once again, Gengar or |
| Mismagius work well. If you have a Pokemon that knows a flying type|
| move but isn't a flying type Pokemon, it will work well against |
| Medicham. |
| |
| Girafarig is his special typed Pokemon, since it is resistant |
| against ghost type attacks. Not only that, but it can use Shadow |
| Ball, Crunch, and Psychic. Fortunately, Girafarig is a bit weak, so|
| any Pokemon such as Torterra or Luxio with a dark type move (or |
| a powerful move such as earthquake or such) can help. Bug type |
| attacks also do OK against it. |
| |
| Alakazam is his Special sweeper, using Psychic, energy ball, and |
| Focus Blast, while having the ever so annoying recover move. Most |
| of us that have played Pokemon know how to take Alakazam down: use |
| dark type attacks or your strongest Pokemon (Once again, a Pokemon |
| that knows dark attacks works best). |
| |
| Bronzong is his last Pokemon, being a bit of a annoying Pokemon to |
| take down. It cannot be hit by ground type attacks due to levitate |
| and it likes to use Calm Mind to raise its special defense. Then, |
| it uses Psychic, Gyro Ball, or Earthquake to take care of any |
| Fighting, Ground, Fire, and such. Not only that, but his defenses |
| are extremely high. Fire is the only thing that works well against |
| him, so you might want to have a Pokemon (Such as the legendary |
| you caught at the Spear Pillar) to have Flamethrower. Otherwise, |
| use your most powerful attacks. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Torterra or Luxio at lv 60 or so with |
| Dark type moves such as Crunch, Mismagius at lv 60 or so, strong |
| attackers that can KO quickly. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
At this point, you should gage how well you did. If you beat the first four
easily without having too much problems or using too many items, then you
should be ready for the champ. If you had a bunch of problems, or your
Pokemon are still in the 40's or below, then you will have issues.
Use PP restoring moves, mostly on attacks such as thunderbolt, toxic, ice
beam, flamethrower, and such. Heal all your Pokemon, and walk up the long
hall for your final story battle with Champion Cynthia.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|FINAL BATTLE: Champion Cynthia |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Spiritomb lv 61 (Ghost/Dark) |
|Roserade lv 60 (Grass/Poison) |
|Gastrodon lv 60 (Water/Ground) |
|Lucario lv 63 (Steel/Fighting) |
|Milotic lv 63 (Water) |
|Garchomp lv 66 (Dragon/Ground) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: This is it, the final battle! Don't be afraid to use any Full |
| Restores, revives, and potions. However, make sure you use them |
| on Pokemon that matter. Cynthia is the most intelligent trainer |
| in the game AI wise, so you will have no mercy from her when it |
| comes to attacks (There were even a couple of times that my lv 100 |
| Pokemon has issues, so be careful). |
| |
| Spiritomb is a new Pokemon that is very hard to see unless you do |
| a long line of side quests. It is also one of two Pokemon that does|
| not have any weaknesses. However, it is weak when it comes to |
| damage, so don't be afraid of using strong attacks against it. It |
| can use Silver Wind, Psychic, and Dark Pulse to damage, and embargo|
| to block you from using items, so defeat it swiftly (Granted, she |
| sometimes likes to use this attack right off the bat). |
| |
| Roserade is her next most common Pokemon. It mostly the ball |
| attacks (Sludge bomb, shadow ball, energy ball), as well as |
| Extrasensory. Fortunately, it is the easiest on her team, so take |
| it out with fire or ice (Your legendary or Infernape works best). |
| Gengar with Psychic also works great against it. |
| |
| Gastrodon is a odd Pokemon. Like Quagsire, it is a Water and Ground|
| type Pokemon and uses mostly ground and rock attacks (Although it |
| also uses Sludge Bomb). Torterra or Roserade works best against it.|
| |
| Milotic may not be her highest level Pokemon, but it can be one of |
| her deadliest. It can use Mirror Coat, which deflects most special |
| attacks back at its caster, so be careful with Grass and Electric |
| attacks that won't take it out. It can use Aqua Ring to heal itself|
| and uses Surf and Ice Beam to damage her opponents. If you have a |
| high level Luxray that can do attacks besides special attacks, then|
| use it to damage her HP before using Thunderbolt. Otherwise, use |
| Grass attacks. |
| |
| Lucario is going to be a tricky Pokemon. It uses a variety of |
| different type attacks, such as Psychic, Earthquake, and Dragon |
| Pulse. Not only that, it cannot take damage from poison types, so |
| using Toxic is not going to work. Fire is your best bet, so use |
| Infernape, a fighting Pokemon, or Torterra with Earthquake. |
| |
| Her final Pokemon is going to be a total bitch. Garchomp is a |
| Physical Sweeper that can use Dragon Rush, Earthquake, Brick |
| Break, and Giga Impact. What works? If you have a flying type such |
| as Gyrados that can use Ice Beam, then you should have a easy time.|
| Otherwise, use Toxic and keep using Potions on yourself, since her |
| attacks can kill most Pokemon in two terms. Otherwise, use your |
| best attacks and all the revives you have. Dialga also works well |
| here if you use Roar of Time. |
| |
| Recommended Pokemon include: Torterra with Razor Leaf and |
| Earthquake, Luxio with non special moves and Thunderbolt, Infernape|
| with fire attacks, Gyrados with Ice Beam or any Pokemon that can |
| do high damage or use Toxic. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After you beat her, you will be lead to the Hall of Fame room where the
Pokemon you used to battle the elite four will be registered (You can view
it later via the PCs at Pokemon Centers). During the credits, you will see
all the Pokemon that you caught along the way. If you want, press start to
skip them (Although I recommend viewing it once, at least).
Congratulations! You beat the story part of Pokemon! However, there is still
many quests and things to do. In fact, it might only be the beginning of
your play time...

----
Located to the Northeast of Sinnoh, the Battle Zone is a special area you
can access after the Elite Four, but can't get anywhere until you get the
National Dex. Once you do have the National Dex, you can go to several
of the exclusives routes located here. Unlike the rest of Sinnoh, the
trainers here are in the level 50-60 range, and carry Pokemon that are
normally not seen in Sinnoh.
To access the battle Zone, fly to Snowpoint and then go south. At the
bottom of the city, you will find several ships and a guy standing by a
boat. As long as you have defeated the Elite Four, you will be able to
go over to the Battle Zone. When you land, you will be in the Fight
Area.

As soon as you land, you will run into your rival and a new traier buck,
and then they will walk away after a little chat. Depending on how far you
are in the game, you might be able to do one of several things. There is a
berry patch located to the left of the Pokemon center. A old lady in the
Pokemart will give a Scope Lens if you talk to her, which will raise your
Critical Hit ratio for whatever Pokemon it is attatched to.
To the northeast is the battle tower, a place where you can get several
rare items and battle high level Pokemon. Don't worry about it for now,
since you will want to do several things in the Battle Zone before you even
attempt to fight at the Battle Tower. If you go to the northwest in the
fight area, you will find a fisherman that will give you the Super Rod, one
of the things you will need to capture non-sinnoh Pokemon. Since there is
not much else you can do, head on over to Route 225 once you are ready.

|Skarmory lv 56 (Steel/Flying) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Zigzagoon is sort of laughable, since he |

|Info: One of the few pure dragon types in the |
| game, Dratini and Dragonair are both very |
| weak against ice and Dragon-type moves. |
\------------------------------------------------/
As you can see, the beginning of this route is a great place to train. Not
only do several of the trainers give out a decent amount of XP, but most
of them grow stronger each time you fight them with the VS Seeker.
So, how does one navigate this route? From the entrance, go up and then go
to the first left. Keep going left until you find stairs, and then go up
them and keep going up until you find stairs on your right. Go down the
stairs and then go right until you see another set of stairs. Go up them
and cross the bridge and go left until you see a second bridge, and go
on it. From here, the path is straightforward until you hit a house.
Note that this is sort of a mid point on the route (You can go inside and
talk to the man to get a free Fresh Water, not all that special). You
should not have any other issues with the route after the house.
However, there is a few rare items you can only get on this route. The Lax
Insense is found to the left of the house, forcing you to use Cut to get
to it. The Dubious Disc (Needed to evolve Porygon2 to Porygon-Z) is located
at a odd point. From the house, go up the stairs and go right until you
see a pond. Use surf and go across it to find a set of stairs. Go down them
and you will find a Item ball with the Dubious Disc inside. You can also
get a Dawn Stone by going north from the entrance to the Survival area and
then using Rock Climb to reach a cliff with a trainer and the Dawn Stone.
Other then catch rare Pokemon, there is not much else to do on the route.
Continue to the Survival Area.

A very small area, that is not even that important outside of a side quest
to get a legendary. You can get TM 42 from a house to the South of the
Pokemon Center, and stock up on items and such (and talk to the locals
about random stuff). Otherwise, head on over to Route 226. Note that you
will need a Pokemon with Rock Climb and Surf before you can continue.

|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: You pretty much know about Golbat to hate |
| it at this point. Xatu is a bit different,|
| however. Its one of the rare dual Psychic |
| and Flying types, making it vunerable to |
| rock, dark, ghost, electric, and ice moves|

|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: All part water, with Sealeo being part ice|

|Sharpedo lv 54 (Water/Dark) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Water/Dark is pretty much a dual type |
| currently exclusive to the Carvanha family|
| which makes it weak against electric, |
| fighting and grass moves. |
\------------------------------------------------/
While you do need two Pokemon with the HM moves Surf and Rock Smash to get
through this area, it is pretty simple overall. The first part (Heading
from the Survival Area) is the mountain area. There are a couple of
trainers and grass areas, as well as a berry patch. You can get TM 53
by fighting the Double Trainers, and then going past them and using Rock
Climb to reach a small cliff.
The second part of the route is the Surf Area. There is only one trainer
in this area, but there is also a house located on a small island in
the middle. You can go inside and talk to a man called the Meister that
sounds like he is from Germany, who will trade you a German Magikarp for
a Finneon. While it is a bad trade, the Magikarp shows off the new country
option for certain Pokemon. Once you are on land again, you will have
the option of either going to Route 227 and to Stark Mountain, or going
east and to Route 228. Overall, the options is yours, but this guide will
cover Route 228 for now.

|Pokemon: |
|Ambipom lv 54 (Normal) |
|Rapidash lv 54 (Fire) |
|Chansey lv 54 (Normal) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: A wide variety here. Ambipom is the 2nd |
| stage form of Aipom that you fought |
| earlier in the game. It goes down easily |
| with fighting attacks. Rapidash is the |
| same as it always has, so use water and |
| ground on it. Chansey has high HP and |
| Special Defense, but low Attack and |
| Defense, meaning it will take a little |
| while to bring it down. Use fighting |
| type moves on it. Also, this is a good |
| EV spot for speed and HP. |

|Makuhita lv 53 (Fighting) |
|Hariyama lv 55 (Fighting) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Fortunatly for you, all of Griffin's |
| Pokemon are fighting types, so a strong |
| Psychic type can easily take care of them.|
| Flying also works pretty well here. |

|Pokemon: |
|Golduck lv 55 (Water) |
|Sandslash lv 55 (Ground) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: While it might not seem like it, this is |
| a good EV spot for traing Defense and |
| Special Defense. Not only that, but both |
| Golduck and Sandslash are weak against |
| Grass type attacks, so this is also a good|
| training spot for grass Pokemon (THey also|
| give out a decent amount of EXP). |

|Ursaring lv 52 (Normal) |
|Trapinch lv 54 (Ground) |
|Vibrava lv 56 (Dragon/Ground) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Its pretty much a double battle, although |
| the Exeggcute and Ursaring belong to Kyler|
| and the rest belong to Krista. If there is|
| one common link, 3 out of 4 of the Pokemon|
| here are weak against ice attacks. Also |
| keep in mind that Vibrava has the levitate|
| ability, so it cannot be hit by ground |
| attacks. |

|Pokemon: |
|Shuppet lv 53 (Ghost) |

|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Both are pretty weak stage 1 Pokemon. Best|
| to use your own ghost attacks, or a strong|
| dark attack such as Bite or Crunch. |
|------------------------------------------------|
| |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Ace Trainer Ariana |

|Pokemon: |
|Delcatty lv 56 (Normal) |
|Yanma lv 55 (Bug/Flying) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Delcatty is pretty much Purugly with a |
| annoying ability that makes your Pokemon |
| attracted to it 1/2 of the time if its the|
| opposite gender, and Yanma is pretty much |
| the same as Beautifly type-wise. |
\------------------------------------------------/
A sand area! Not only is this one of the best places to train your Pokemon,
but there is a bunch of rare wild Pokemon that are usually exclusive to
the GBA games. The only side effect of this area is that Sandstorm will
always be in effect, so you will constantly take damage unless you use a
ground, rock, or steel Pokemon.
Since you are starting out on the upper part of Route 228, here is how you
get to the bottom: From the gate, go south and through the grass. After the
grass, go right until you can find a path that goes down. Fight the double
trainers, and then continue to go down until you reach Route 229.
There are several major points of interest, so listen up. The protector
item needed to evolve Rhydon into Rhyperior is located near the gatehouse
at the top of the route, go east from the gatehouse and continue to do so
until you can't go east anymore. Then go up, and then head right until you
see one of those mud slopes. Go down, and you will find a itemball with
the Protector inside. Use the bike to get out.
TM 37 is located past the double battle people you met while going down.
After them, go left and then down to find it. A shiny stone can be found
by going up one of the mud slopes near the two double battle people and
then going on the lower plank of wood and going across to find a ledge with
the itemball on it.
The last thing of interest is the elemental hyper beam tuitor in a house on
this route. You can find him after the grass by going to the upper right
and you will find it. The man inside will teach Blast Burn, Frenzy Plant,
and Hydro Cannon to your starter's final evolution from each of the
generations (Such as Venusaur, Feraligatr, Swampert, Torterra, and the
rest). However, the starter must have max happiness before you can do that.
Once you are ready, head down to Route 229.

|Dusclops lv 55 (Ghost) |
|Salamence lv 55 (Dragon/Flying) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: This may be one of the harder ones. Felix |
| has a Dusclops that can use Curse, which |
| makes fighting Salamence hard due to you |
| losing 1/4 of your current Pokemon's HP |
| every turn (Switch out if he does use it),|
| and Salamence has a annoying ability that |
| lowers your attack when it enters battle. |
| Ghost and dark work best for Dusclops, and|
| ice for Salamence. |

|Kecleon lv 55 (Normal) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Spinda can pretty much be taken out with |
| anything, so don't worry too much. The |
| only thing you have to worry about is |
| Kecleon, which changes its type to the |
| last type of attack you used. Best thing |
| to do is have several different types of |
| attacks (Such as, say: Psychic, Dark, and |
| Ghost) to easily take care of it with a |
| different move each turn. |

|Pokemon: |
|Mightyena lv 55 (Dark) |
|Kirlia lv 55 (Psychic) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Mightyena is pretty weak for a dark |
| Pokemon, so you do not have to worry about|
| it. Kirlia also has very low hit points, |
| so any major dark or ghost attack should |
| kill it right out. |
\------------------------------------------------/
A very small route, but it still has a few important things on it. The
route itself is a link to Route 230, and back to the fight area. You can
also go in the grass and fight some of the trainers and capture some of
the rare pokemon found here. It is also a link to the resort area, so you
definatly want to check that part out. You can also get a Reaper Cloth
here (The evolution item needed for Dusknoir) by going past the double
trainers and then going to the right until you find a cutable tree, and
using cut on it. The Pokeball with the item is down the small path past
the tree.

A very small area that does not even have a Pokemart! The resort area is
also home to 2 berry patches, a nugget on the far right of the house next
to the second berry patch, and the Ribbon Syndicate mansion to the north.
If you have at least 8 Ribbons, then you can enter the mansion and buy
other riboons and get a massage that boosts your Pokemon's happiness more
then the Massager in Veilstone (You can only do it once a day).
There are two exits, although both lead to Route 229. The Northwestern path
leads to the part without grass, while the northeastern path leads to one
with a bunch of grass and trainers. To explore the rest of the Battle Zone,
lets head on Route 230. To reach is, surf when you are on Route 229.

|Pokemon: |
|Chinchou lv 51 (Water/Electric) |
|Lanturn lv 51 (Water/Electric) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Chinchou and Lanturn are pretty unique in |
| that they are the only Pokemon that have |
| the Water AND Electric type. However, its |
| still extremely weak against ground and |
| grass attacks, so those work best here. |

|Pokemon: |
|Seel lv 51 (Water) |
|Starmie lv 51 (Water/Psychic) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Seel is a fairly weak Water type, while |
| Starmie is a strong Water and Psychic |
| type. Either way, grass and electric moves|
| work best. |

|Pokemon: |
|Mantyke lv 50 (Flying/Water) |
|Mantine lv 52 (Flying/Water) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Don't be fooled: the Mantine family is |
| pretty much a poor man's Gyarados. Any |
| sort of electric attack should take them |
| right out. |

|Pokemon: |
|Luvdisc lv 50 (Water) |
|Lapras lv 54 (Water/Ice) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Luvdisc is pretty much a joke Pokemon on |
| par with Magikarp and Feebass, so you |
| should have no issues with it. Lapras, |
| however, has a bunch of HP and is part ice|
| as well. Fighting (on Lapras), and |
| Electric moves are the way to go. |

|Pokemon: |
|Seel lv 50 (Water) |
|Dewgong lv 54 (Water/Ice) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Seel is pretty much the same as the one |
| you fought earlier, while Dewgong is a |
| cheap ripoff of Lapras. Fighting and |
| Electric works well again. |

|Money: 848p |
|EV Gained: 2 Attack |
|Rematch Trainer: Yes |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|Crawdaunt lv 53 (Water/Dark) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Crawdaunt is a fairly powerful Pokemon, |
| although the dark type also gives it |
| a weakness against fighting types. |
\------------------------------------------------/
Route 230 is a fairly boring route, since it only has about 6 trainers and
a small part of land for Pokemon that you can also find a Rare Candy on.
There is also a berry patch on the western side with 4 spots for berries,
and a path leading back to the Fight Area.
Once you are ready, head back to Route 226 from Route 228 and then go up
to find a new path to the next route, 227.

\------------------------------------------------/
Somewhat of a odd route, Route 227 requries that you use your bike for most
of it. Also, you might want to bring a Pokemon that knows Rock Climb if
you want to get some of the goodies between here and Stark Mountain. You
will also need a Pokemon with Strength and Rock Smash if you want to get
farther into the upcoming mountain.
First, however, is getting to Stark Mountain. You see those bumps near the
ledges? If your Bike is at top speed, then it will be able to get over
those. Be careful, since some of them can run you right into trainers.
After the second ledge, jump down one ledge and continue to the left until
you see some grass, and then go up. You should see a house that you can
go inside and rest at. Once you are fully healed, go right and go up the
stairs.
From here, head over the small piece of wood until you are in the next
section, where Buck will greet you and then run off to Stark Mountain.
This is also where you can get some of the items on this route. After
Buck is a break in the ledge on the left side, head through the break and
go down the ledge to find a wall you can use Rock Climb on. Use it and
head down to the area below, where you can find the Charcoal item. You
can also go over the wodden plank and get a Zinc, if you want.
Once you are done, head back to the area where Buck was and continue on
the right until you reach the outside area of Stark Mountain.

\------------------------------------------------/
Pretty similar to Route 227, but with a few diffeences. You can get a Ether
in the grass, if you want to get it. You can also get the Life Orb item
if you have a Pokemon with Rock Climb. Instead of going up the steps, head
to the left and use Rock Climb once you get to the end. Head left again
once you are up the hill and fight the trainer, and then use it again right
behind him. From the grassy area, head left and use Rock Climb again where
you will find the item ball with the Life Orb inside.
Once you are ready, climb up the steps and head left to find the entrance
to Stark Mountain.

\------------------------------------------------/
==============
||First Area||
===========================================================================
When you first walk in, you will find a breakable rock. Smash it, and
continue. Use strength on the next boulder to put it to the right, and then
push it down the steps. Next, go to the right to find three boulders. Push
the top and bottom ones to the right, and then push the middle one to the
top. Keep going to the right and then go up to find some stairs. Go up it
and then to the left and push the boulder to the left all the way. Keep
going up the stairs until you reach the next boulder and push that one out
of the way and go up the steps to find your Rival. Continue to the next
room.
===========================================================================
===============
||Second Area||
===========================================================================
In the next area, you will find Buck standing there. He will ask to team
up with you to get to the back. Like Cheryl and the other partners, he
will heal your Pokemon after every encounter (He also has a level 58
Claydol, although it seems to mostly use Ancientpower and support moves
like Reflect).
To get to the back:
1. From the point where you meet buck, go to the right until you find a
set of stairs you can go down and head to the bottom floor.
2. At the bottom, keep going right until the path goes up. Go up until
you find a set of stairs on the left going up. Head up to the upper
levels.
3. At the top, go north and ignore the set of stairs on your right.
Once you can't go north anymore, go left and then up once you
can go up. Go down the stairs on your left.
4. When you get to the bottom, go up and then left when you have the
option to until you hit a breakable rock. Use Rock Smash and continue
going left. Once you reach the next set of stairs, go down and keep
going right until you find a boulder (Ignore the first set of stairs
when you first enter). Keep pushing the boulder to the right until
you find the second set of stairs and go up them. Once at the top,
you will find the entrance to the back room.
===========================================================================
===================
||Getting Heatran||
===========================================================================
Once you reach the back area, Buck will take a stone and run out of the
cave. Exit the cave via a escape rope or dig and fly to the Survival
area. From the Pokemon Center, go to the house to the left to find Buck
inside with the Magma Stone. Talk to him and he will go back to Stark
Mountain. Fly back to the Resort Area and head back to Stark Mountain.
Use the same instructions used above to reach the backroom again, and you
will find Heatran in that room. Make sure to save before fighting him.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Legendary Pokemon Heatran |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Level 70 |
|Fire/Steel |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Heatran is a interesting legendary. Not only is it a odd mixture |
| of Fire and Steel, but it is also one of the few legendaries that |
| have a gender (Although it still cannot breed), so you can use |
| Attract to stall it. Heatran is weak against Water and fighting |
| attacks, and really weak against Ground moves. |
| |
| At this point, a strong water Pokemon would work best, possibly |
| Empoleon if you got him as a starter, or a very strong Ground |
| Pokemon. Quagsire or Swampert imported from R/S/E would be a decent|
| mixture to use, as well as a Pokemon that can use False Swipe once |
| its HP is low enough. Like other legendaries, its catch rate is |
| really low, so it might take as many as 50 Ultra Balls to catch |
| him, although Dark Balls may help. |
| |
| One reader recommends the following: |
| "I highly recommend bringing along a Pokemon with the ability Flash |
| Fire. This will make that Pokemon immune to Fire-type attacks, so |
| Heatran's Lava Plume and Fire Spin are useless. This will leave it|
| with only Iron Head to do damage with, which only does half damage |
| to Fire-type Pokemon. If, in addition, you paralyze Heatran at the|
| beginning of the battle, this really cuts down the number of turns |
| you would otherwise waste healing." |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you catch Heatran, there is not much else to do in Stark Mountain
outside getting a few items via Rock Climb, so head back to the entrance.

----
After you defeat the Elite Four for the first time, your Rival will start
appearing near the Battle Tower gate on Saturday and Sunday for a rematch.
You can do this once each day until Monday. One thing to note is you can
bypass the clock by setting it for 11:59 on Friday and refight him as many
times as you want as long as you reset the clock. Here is some info on how
to beat him:
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Boss: Rival |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon: |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 1 (If you choose Turtwig) |
|Staraptor lv 58 (Normal/Flying) |
|Floatzel lv 59 (Water) |
|Heracross lv 60 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Roserade lv 59 (Grass/Poison) |
|Snorlax lv 60 (Normal) |
|Infernape lv 64 (Fire/Fighting) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 2 (If you choose Chimchar) |
|Staraptor lv 58 (Normal/Flying) |
|Roserade lv 59 (Grass/Poison) |
|Heracross lv 60 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Rapidash lv 59 (Fire) |
|Snorlax lv 60 (Normal) |
|Empoleon lv 64 (Water/Steel) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Team 3 (If you choose Piplup) |
|Staraptor lv 58 (Normal/Flying) |
|Floatzel lv 59 (Water) |
|Heracross lv 60 (Bug/Fighting) |
|Rapidash lv 59 (Fire) |
|Snorlax lv 60 (Normal) |
|Torterra lv 64 (Grass/Ground) |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Your Rival is pretty much the same as he was back at the Elite Four|
| only with higher levels. By now, you should have quite a few |
| Pokemon of various types, so beating him will be easy as long as |
| your levels are mid 50's and up. Staraptor and Floatzel goes down |
| with electric attacks, so Thunder or Thunderbolt is recommended. |
| Heracross and Roserade are both weak against fire and psychic |
| attacks (Flamethower/Fire Blast and Psychic work best). Rapidash |
| and Infernape are both fire types, so ground and water work well. |
| (Earthquake and Surf are good attacks to use). Finally, Torterra |
| goes down with fire and Emploeon goes down with electric and |
| fighting. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
As an added bonus, your rival's levels will increase 10 levels for each
Pokemon once you beat the Elite Four at least 20 times. Once you do that
his Pokemon will be these levels:
Staraptor: lv 68
Roserade: lv 69
Floatzel: lv 69
Rapidash: lv 69
Heracross: lv 60
Snorlax: lv 60
Torterra: lv 74
Infernape: lv 74
Empoleon: lv 74
For these levels, anything in the 60's should be able to take them OK.

|Blissey lv 55 (Normal) |
|------------------------------------------------|
|Info: A bit of a interesting team. Girafarig is |

|Info: Another oddball team. While there are 3 |
| water Pokemon, Pelipper is somewhat |
| resistant to Grass attacks, so use a |
| Electric attack on it. Gastrodon and |
| Quagsire are both Water/Ground, so Grass |
| does 4X damage to them. Raichu is weak |
| against ground attacks, and Lopunny is |
| weak to fighting. |

===========================
||Getting to the new area||
===========================================================================
On your first time through Victory Road, you might have come across a guy
that was blocking the way to a entrance. Now that you have the National
Pokedex, you can finally go to that path and reach a new route that you
have never been to before.
Before you set out, you will need Waterfall, Strength, Rock Climb, and
Defog (Found at the beginning of the Great Marsh). Once you have Pokemon
that can use those skills, fly to the Pokemon Leage and go down the giant
Waterfall to reach the entrance to Victory Road and enter.
Once inside, head south until you are across the bridge, and then use Rock
Climb to reach the bottom floor. When you are at the bottom, go left and
then up once you can, and then go left once you hit the old man and go up
the stairs right next to him.
When you are at the top of the stairs, go right over the bridge and then
go up and right until you find a entrance to another area.
===========================================================================
=================
||The New Area ||
===========================================================================
As soon as you enter the new area, you will meet Marley, a young girl with
a level 57 Arcanine with Fire Fang, Helping Hand, Agility, and Extremespeed
that will join up with you.
Once she does, use Defog to make it easier to battle (If you do not, then
your accuracy will lower quite a bit). To get to the end of the cave, first
go North until you find some boulders. When you find a boulder like this,
go to the left or right of it and use strength to move it out of the way
(Do NOT push it to the north, or you will have to exit and re-enter for
it to reset).
Once at the top, you will find two trainers. Battle them, and continue on
to the right. Fight two more trainers and then keep going to the right to
find a boulder that you have to push right until you can go down. After
the boulder is two more trainers and a set of stairs you have to go down.
When you are down the stairs, go to your right to find two more trainers
and then head down the steps into the maze. To reach the next part, just
keep going on the path until you reach the next set of stairs. Go up them
and fight the last two trainers, and then head to your right until you find
stairs that are going up. Go up and then right to find the exit of this
area.
At this point, Marley should leave you. Head up the stairs to your right to
reach Route 224.

|--O--| GETTING THE NATIONAL DEX |--O--|
\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
\D002/
----
One small little quirk Gamefreak threw in in the 4th Generation is getting
the National Dex. Before, it was a fairly easy process (Well, besides FR
and LG, although it wasn't too bad). In D/P, however, you will need to see
all 150 Pokemon that are located in Sinnoh. In general, how the game is set
up is that you will pretty much encounter every Pokemon at least once.
About half of the Pokemon in the dex are ones you will be forced to fight
through story battles (Gym Leader, Rival battles, Team Galactic, and Elite
Four Battles). The rest are either common Pokemon you can find pretty much
in the wild, or via trainers.
Note that there are some annoying ones. By the time I finished the Elite 4,
I had all besides the 3 Legendaries, Carnivine, Cherrim, and such. There are
some Pokemon so common that you will have to battle it at least once, and
some that are so rare that they either appear only in the wild or in one
single trainer's team.
The following list is a general location of where you can find Sinnoh Dex
Pokemon. Note that this is not a full location guide: There are many other
places wild Pokemon can be fought, and many other trainers that can be
fought that have the same Pokemon. This guide merely contains their wild
location, and maybe 1 or 2 trainers that might have them. Note that you only
need to SEE the Pokemon and not catch them. Sort of a weird redoing of the
Pokedex.

After seeing all 150, go back to Sandgem Town and talk to Prof. Rowan. You
will get the National Pokedex, and Prof. Oak will show up and give you the
Pokeradar. You now have access to a number of things around Sinnoh! However,
you might want to start at the Pal Park...
________________________________________________________________________
/ \ / \
|--O--| PAL PARK |--O--|
\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
\D003/
----
Located on Route 221 (South of Sandgem) is a facility called the Pal Park.
If you try to get there before getting the National Dex, a guard will tell
you that it is not ready yet. Once you do get the National Dex, Prof. Oak
will tell you to come here.
On your first time inside, Prof. Oak will give you the Trainer Counter (A
Poketech APP that shows the highest amount of Pokemon you have encountered,
which is pointless). While inside, you can also get two more useful Poketech
APPs, the Kitchen Timer (Show the girl in the beginning a Snorlax), and the
Color Changer (Show the same girl a Keckleon) to get those two.
Anywho, the Pal Park itself is pretty much a mini-game of sorts. To play,
you will need to export GBA Pokemon via putting a R/S/E/FR/LG cartriage in
the GBA slot. When you turn on your DS, you will find a option to Migrate
Pokemon if a GBA Pokemon game is in the slot. Here are a few rules for
transfering Pokemon:
- The Pokemon cannot know a HM move. If it does, you will need to delete the
move via a Move Deleter in the GBA game.
- You can only transfer 6 Pokemon per day from that cart. However, you can
use multiple carts per day. You must catch the Pokemon in storage at the
Pal Park before you can export more.
- If you try to turn the clock forward on the DS, you will be forced to wait
until 24 hours after you tried to change the clock.
- Although 100% not confirmed, you cannot transfer irregular Pokemon (Such
as Glitch Pokemon such as Bag EGG), and you cannot transfer unhatched Egg
pokemon.
- Although this should be pretty obvious, you can only transfer Pokemon from
the 3rd generation games (Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald).
R/B/Y/G/S/C are NOT compatable
As a side note from a reader:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You can use the same cartridge more than once a day, but it has to be a
different ID number. As the way I obtained my starters from LeafGreen was
to play LeafGreen until I got 6 pokemon and the pokedex, then transferred,
caught in Diamond Pal Park, and started a new LG game to get another
starter.
Yes it does take about a half hour at a time (to get Dex and 6 other
pokemon, 5 + starter must be in box to migrate), but if you aren't too
far into the game it's an easy way to get the original or Ruby/Saph/Emerald
starters onto Diamond/Pearl versions."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once they are transfered, you will be able to go to the Pal Park and enter a
catching game
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| You can also Fly to the Pal Park, although you can only do it |
| after getting the National Pokedex and going inside at least |
| once). |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The catching game is fairly simple. There are 5 locations:
- Grass area (Found when you first walk in)
- Forest (Grass surrounded by trees)
- Pond (Small pond area in the northeastern part of the map)
- Mountain (Bit of grass found on the hill in the northeastern part)
- Ocean (Bit of land in the lower right corner of the map)
You will be given several special Pokeballs to catch the GBA Pokemon. The
thing about these Pokeballs is that they are the same as a Masterball and
will always catch the Pokemon. However, the following stats will remain on
the status screen when you catch it:
- Region it was caught in (Hoenn, Kanto, or other)
- Original Trainer name and ID number
- Type of Pokeball it was caught with
- Nature
- Level
- Current EXP
- All Moves it had before transfer
- Ability
- Ribbons
- Shiny Status
- If it has the Pokerus or had the Pokerus
- EV Points
- IV Points
- Any item it was holding when it was transfered
- All its stats will remain the same
As you can see, it is pretty much the exact same Pokemon. The good part is
that they will now recieve a 1.5 EXP Bonus since they are not your Pokemon.
Only bad part is that it will not evolve if it was supposed to (Such as a
trade Evolution or such).
Each Pokemon has a certain set location it goes to. The following chart
shows the following:
- Its Location (As stated Above)
- Its Encounter Rate. Common ones appear more frequently, while Uncommon
and rare ones take a bit of time to find. Very Rare ones will take a very
long time of running around to find
- Its Score Rank (Thanks to Nintendo's Pokedex guide for this Info). Every
Pokemon nets a certain amount of points depending on its rank. E Pokemon
get the lowest, D get the second lowest, C gets average points, B, gets
above average points, A gets High Points, and S gets the highest amount
of points.

|--O--| THE OLD CHATEAU |--O--|
\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
\D004/
----
/------------------------------------------------------------\
|Pokemon |Version |Morning|Day |Night |Method |
|---------------|----------|-------|-------|------|----------|
|Gastly |Both |100% |100% |100% |Normal |
|--------------------------|----------------------|----------|
|After the National Dex |Encounter Rate |Method |
|--------------------------|----------------------|----------|
|Haunter |Both |4% in eye room, 8% |Any Cart |
|Gengar |Both |4% in eye room | |
\------------------------------------------------------------/
While not necessarily a National Dex only place, most of the stuff you can
do will be limited until you get the National Pokedex and have at least one
of the GBA Pokemon games in the GBA slot on your DS. To get to the Old
Chateau, you must head to Eterna Forest from Eterna City and have cut with
you. Once in the forst, go to your left until you see some cuttable trees
(You should see Gardenia as well outside). Cut them and enter the mansion.
While you can enter it before getting the National Pokedex and before you
even defeat the Elite 4, the only thing to do is gather items within the
mansion itself and catch Gastly. While here, you can get the rare Old Gateau
Item (Which is pretty much a Full Heal), TM 90, and the Dread Plate (as well
as some other hidden items).
There are 2 small secrets to this place, though. The first is the two other
Pokemon you can catch here with a GBA Pokemon game in the GBA slot: Haunter
and Gengar. Haunter starts to appear uncommonly, while Gengar appears very
rarely in the rooms with eyes in them. Keep in mind that you can only do
this after the National Pokedex, though.
The other thing to do is catch a semi-rare Pokemon (somewhat of a legendary,
but not quite). On the second floor in the room with the 5 doors, the second
door on your left has a room with a TV set in it. While it does not have
anything on during the day, going in at night will reveal the rare Pokemon,
Rotom.
Rotom itself is a interesting Pokemon. It starts at lv 15, is Electric and
Ghost Type, and has the move levitate. Because of that, False Swipe is not
a option. The best thing to do is use a low level Pokemon that can slightly
damage and either paralyze or put to sleep Rotom. Make sure you bring some
Ultra Balls and perhaps some Dark Balls. Also good to note that Farfetch'd,
Sneasel, and Weavile can learn false Swipe via breeding (Egg moves). If you
want a easier time catching one of those, then breed a Sneasel and level it
up to around lv 20 with False Swipe (Thanks to Gywall for that info).
One final note, in the dining room is a weird ghost that seems just to be
there for no reason. In my game, he went to the left side, which led me into
the kitchen, which didn't have anything special besides some useless hidden
items. Anyone else have any info on him?
A reader named Chris was kind enough to follow up on the ghosts found
in the Old Chateau:
"In the old chateu on the 2 room to the right (not the end one, the one with
a bookcase) I saw a girl, who looked left then right and walked out, and
then when I left the room she was not there, unless I went into the end
room and then went into the second room on the right. I dont think shes a
ghosts as unlike the one downstairs her legs move. I saw this a few times
in the day, not sure about at night."

|--O--| THE GREAT MARSH |--O--|
\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
\D005/
----
Located in the Northern part of Pastoria City, the Great Marsh it D/P's
version of the Safari Zone. Like always, here are the rules:
- Costs 500 to enter
- You get 30 Safari Balls with a 1.5 Capture Rate
- You have 500 Steps before you are called back
- You can Throw Bait (Causes them to stay around), or throw Mud Balls
(Makes them easier to catch, but makes them angry)
Like other versions, there are 6 sections of the Great Marsh that you can
go to. However, the Pokemon below appear in every section (Besides Noctowl,
which does not appear in Section 5 or 6). Here is a list of the Pokemon that
appear:
Grass:

|Whiscash |65% (Super Rod) |Fishing |
|--------------------------|----------------------|----------|
|Carvanha |35% (Super Rod) |Fishing |
\------------------------------------------------------------/
However, there is a new twist: There are Pokemon that change daily depending
on how far you are in the game. Early on, some rarer and evolved forms start
to appear. However, Pokemon from FR/LG/R/S/E will start appearing once you
get the National Pokedex. Here is a list of all the changing Pokemon:
/-----------------------------------\
|Pre-National Dex |Post-National Dex|
|-----------------|-----------------|
|Skorupi |Kangaskhan |
|Drapion |Shroomish |
|Carnevine |Yanma |
|Golduck |Exeggcute |
|Croagunk |Gulpin |
|Toxicroak |Paras |
|Roselia |Carvanha |
|Starvia |Arbok * |
|Bidoof | |
|Bibarel | |
|Marill | |
|Azurill | |
\-----------------------------------/
Note that Arbok will only appear when FireRed is plugged into the GBA slot.
Also, Pokemon like Skorupi, Drapion, Croagunk, Toxicroak, and Carnevine and
the other-pre national dex Pokemon will still appear even after you get the
National Pokedex.
So, how does one know when they start appearing? There are binoculars on the
top floor that will show you each six areas for 100p and one of the Pokemon
that will appear there.
As stated earlier, the Great Marsh is separated into 6 parts, with some of
the areas only reachable via the tram. Another new addition is the muddy
parts of the Great Marsh. Depending on how fast you walk, you will get stuck
in the mud and have to move around to get out, costing you steps.
As with the other Safari Games, you will automatically exit once you take
enough steps or use up your Safari Balls. However, there are three ways
you can indefinatly stay in the Safari Zone until you use up your Safari
Balls:
* Fish at one of the water spots
* Take a Pokemon that knows Sweet Scent and use that over and over until
you find the Pokemon you want
* Hold B and press the D-Pad slightly. You will stay in place and will not
count as a step, but Wild Pokemon still have a chance of appearing if you
do that.
If anyone has anything to add to this section, email me.

|--O--| THE TROPHY GARDEN |--O--|
\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
\D006/
----
The Trophy Garden is sort of a semi-hidden area of Route 212. Located at the
back of a giant mansion, it is home to several variety of Pokemon. You can
enter the garden before getting the National Pokedex, but all you will
really find that can be of any use is Pikachu and Pichu (and Roselia if you
have not caught one yet).
The draw of this place, however, is the rare Pokemon that can appear after
beating the Elite Four and getting the National Pokedex. Here is a list of
all the Pokemon that can be found in the garden:
/------------------------------------------------------------\
|Pokemon |Version |Morning|Day |Night |Method |
|---------------|----------|-------|-------|------|----------|
|Pikachu |Both |10% |10% |10% |Normal |
|Roselia |Both |30% |30% |30% |Normal |
|Pichu |Both |30% |10% |10% |Normal |
|Starvia |Both |20% |40% |20% |Normal |
|Kricketune |Both |10% |10% |30% |Normal |
|--------------------------|----------------------|----------|
|After the National Dex |Encounter Rate |Method |
|--------------------------|----------------------|----------|
|Cleffa |Both |5% |Event |
|Clefairy |Both |5% |Event |

|Happiny |Both |5% |Event |
|Chansey |Both |5% |Event |
|Porygon |Both |5% |Event |
\------------------------------------------------------------/
However, there is a catch to the place: The Pokemon that appear here are
random, and only 2 can appear at once. To activate the event, go in the
mansion and go to the right wing until you find a room with the owner and
his butler in it (You will know when you see them standing next to each
other). Talk to the owner and answer yes to all his question and eventually
the Pokemon he is bragging about will come up. That Pokemon will then appear
in the garden. You will then have to wait until the next day to talk to him
again to get a new Pokemon in the garden.
There is a nice side to it, however. Unlike swarms, the Pokemon will stay in
the garden until you talk to the guy 3. And as mentioned earlier: you can
have up to two Pokemon in the garden at once. Here is a small example:
The first day you talk to him and Meowth start appearing, and the second
time you talk to him Marill will start appearing. It goes like this:
- Meowth
- Marill
The third time you talk to him, you start to get Eevee. It goes like this:
- Marill
- Eevee
Meowth will no longer appear in the garden, yet Marill will still appear and
Eevee as well.
Fortunatly, there is another way to manipulate the garden: you can influence
the Pokemon that appear. How? Save before you talk to the owner. What the
game does is randomly choose a Pokemon when you talk to him, and does not
choose automatically for each day like swarm Pokemon. That way, you can
reload if you get a Pokemon you do not want in the garden.
Another thing to note is that you can raise the appearance rate of cetain
rare Pokemon if the level they can appear at is at least level 18 (For
example: Chansey can be encountered at level 18 while in the garden). If
so, then you can drastically raise their appearance by having a level 18
Pokemon in the front of your party and use a bunch of repels. This way,
the only Pokemon that appear are Pikachu and the Pokemon that can appear
at level 18. (Look at the lucky egg section for more info on this).
Finally, a few more things before we end this section:
* The repel trick does not work with Sweet Scent and the Pokeradar
* As you can see, it is very hard to find many of the post-national dex
Pokemon in the garden. There are some times where I will have a new
Pokemon start appearing in the garden, yet I will never see them and
mostly see older event Pokemon (Like say I had Porygon and Eevee in the
garden and had Porygon active first. Sometimes, I would see nothing but
Porygon in the garden).
* You can use the Pokeradar in the garden to find event Pokemon.
* If anyone has any info on what levels the event Pokemon appear at, please
send it to my email.

A optional place, Wayward Cave is one of the few places in Sinnoh that needs
Flash (Now TM 70 and bought at the Veilstone Department Store) to enter.
While there isn't too much to do, there are three things you can get here:
TM 26 (Earthquake) a temporary partner and future battle tower partner
(Mira) and catching a Gible.
First thing to do is to enter the cave. You will need Pokemon that know
cut, flash, and rock smash. Go either to Eterna City and go south on Cycling
Road to the bottom of Route 206, or go to Route 206 via Route 207 from
Oreburgh via the Bike. Cut down the trees on your right and continue north.
There is some rare Pokemon in the grass (Bronzor), as well as a single
trainer). Continue north on the right side until you see a cave entrance
and enter it.
Once inside the cave, use the Pokemon that knows Flash and light it up. The
first floor of Wayward cave is mostly a maze of sorts, with many spots where
you have to use Rock Smash. To get to Mira, do the following:
* From the Entrance, go north and use Rock Smash on the first rock you can
break.
* From the rock you just broke, continue north until you see a second
breakable rock and break it.
* From that point, continue north until you find two paths going left and
one going right. Take the left path and break the rock and then go north.
* Once you cannot go north anymore, go right and break the next break-able
rock and continue right. Once you can't go right anymore, go down, then
right, and then down again until you reach a breakable rock and break it.
* From here, go right a little bit until you see a path going down and head
down it, head right again, and then down and break the rock. Go right,
then up, then right, and then finally up. From here, the path is
straightforward until you find Mira.
Once you do find her, talk to her and she will join you. Similar to Cheryl
in the Eterna Forest, Mira has her own Pokemon (A Kadabra), although she is
more of a support character for the most part. Like Cheryl, all the Pokemon
will now appear in double and you can only catch one once you faint the
other. And like Cheryl and all the people who are your partners, your team
will be healed after every battle.
The path out is pretty much the same as before, just minus all the rock
breaking. You can run into a few double battles and collect some items,
although you may just want to get Mira to the entrance as soon as you can.
Once you get to the end, she will leave your party and appear much later in
the game as a optional partner in the battle tower's two on two mode.
The second thing you can do is to catch a Gible, but you will have to wait
until you have a Pokemon that can use Strength (Basically after you get the
6th badge). Once you do, get a Pokemon that can use strength, as well as
Pokemon that can use Flash and Cut again and head back to the outside
entrance of Wayward cave.
To get to the secret part of wayward cave, head to the left of the outside
entrance and go under the bridge until you see the left blue support beam
under the bridge. Once you find it, press up and you will enter the second
part of the cave.
Use Flash again, and you will find a simple boulder solution. Use strength
on it and continue down the stairs. The bottom area is pretty much optional,
since you can only get a couple of items down here. However, you are now in
the area where you can catch a Gible. Gible have a 15% apperance rate, so
you won't have too much trouble finding one, just make sure you have some
Dark Balls or Ultra Balls on hand and a lower level Pokemon that won't take
it out instantly.

A semi-required area if you want to get the National Pokedex (Only if you
want to skip a battle at the bottom of the Oreburgh Gate). Iron Island is
a optional place you can go to once you get the 6th badge in Canlave.
Fortunatly, you don't really need any HMs inside the mountain to get
anywhere, buy you will need some semi-decent Pokemon, bring only 5 Pokemon
the first time, and travel by bote from Calave.
Once you do get here from Canalave, your main objective is to get Riley and
bring him to a certain point inside the island. Like Mira and Cheryl, he is
one of the partners that will help you later in the battle tower. To get to
him, do the following:
* Enter the Mountain and then go down the right set of stairs
* From there, go down and then right until you see a second pair of stairs
Go up them and continue on the ledge and ignore the first set of stairs.
Continue past them and go down, and then left until you find a lift. Go
down it and you will find two different paths. Go on the left path.
* There, you will find Riley and automatically team up with him
Once you team up with him, he will have a powerful Lucario that will help
you. Like always, pokemon will start appearing in double battles. Your main
goal here is to battle several Galactic Grunts and beat them. Here is how
you reach them:
* From where you found Riley, go left until you get into a double battle.
* After you beat them, go down, then right, then down, and then right again
until you hit another double battle.
* After that, keep going down the path until you find a set of stairs you
can go up. Go down and fight and beat the Galactic Grunts.
* After you beat them, go down the stairs, down a little, and then go up
the stairs on the left to the last two galactic Grunts and beat them.
Once you beat them, Riley will ask you if you want a egg. If you do not
have room for it, he will wait in that spot until you make room for it.
Once you do get it, he will leave and you will see him much later in the
game as a Battle Tower partner.
There is a few more things you can do on Iron Island. You can find a Shiny
Stone if you explore a little bit (Good for evolving a few Pokemon). If you
have unlocked the National Pokedex, then you can go in the house you passed
earlier and get a Metal Coat (Good for evolving and Steel types, although
you want to save it for Scyther, since you can catch wild Steelix now).

|--O--| SOLACEON RUINS |--O--|
\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
\D009/
----
What may be the oddest quest in Sinnoh, the Solaceon Ruins are home to the
Unown: one of the most useless battle Pokemon besides Magikarp (All it can
learn is Hidden Power and has sucky stats).
However, Unown are unique in that they were not only the first Pokemon that
had alternate forms, but has the highest amount (28 total, 26 being letters
of the English alphabet, and 2 of them added in the 3rd generation are the
! and ? unowns). Besides being a novelty to collect for the Pokedex, they
are tied to two different quests in Sinnoh, both requiring you to catch all
26 versions.
The first quest is a boy in a house near the ruins that will give you ball
capsule stickers for each unown you show him. While you do not need all of
the unown to get specific stickers, you do need all 28 forms to get every
letter of the alphabet to spell stuff out.
The second quest is the Maniac Tunnel on Route 214. The tunnel itself is a
bit of a oddity: When you get 10 unowns, the tunnel's size increases and
the chance of seeing the rare Hippopotas increases. Once you get all 26
unowns, Hippopotas's apperance rate increases again and you will now have
access to a rare chamber of the ruins itself where the ? and ! Unown are
catchable.
So, how DO you find the unown? Solaceon Ruins is a bit of a cave with 6
accessable levels (and the one additional one once you catch all 26 Unown).
Each specific level has 4 exits: The "Correct" one, the one you just came
out of, and two dead ends that lead to random Unown. Here is a general
guide to finding all of the Unown:
/------------------------------------------------------\
|Unown Letter |Location |
|-----------------|------------------------------------|
|Unown A |Dead End Room |
|Unown B |Dead End Room |
|Unown C |Dead End Room |
|Unown D |Alternate Basement Floor 4 |
|Unown E |Fourth Basement Floor |
|Unown F |First Basement Floor |
|Unown G |Dead End Room |
|Unown H |Dead End Room |
|Unown I |Third Basement Floor |
|Unown J |Dead End Room |
|Unown K |Dead End Room |
|Unown L |Dead End Room |
|Unown M |Dead End Room |
|Unown N |Alternate Basement Floor 3 |
|Unown O |Dead End Room |
|Unown P |Dead End Room |
|Unown Q |Dead End Room |
|Unown R |Second Basement Floor |
|Unown S |Dead End Room |
|Unown T |Dead End Room |
|Unown U |Dead End Room |
|Unown V |Dead End Room |
|Unown W |Dead End Room |
|Unown X |Dead End Room |
|Unown Y |Dead End Room |
|Unown Z |Dead End Room |
|Unown ! |Ruin Maniac Path |
|Unown ? |Ruin Maniac Path |
\------------------------------------------------------/
So, how do you navigate the ruins? Well, like I said earlier, each floor has
one path leading to where you came from, one right path that continues, and
two wrong paths that lead to a dead end room. Dead End Rooms are the places
you want to catch the majority of the Unown, with 20 of them being located
there. The other 6 alphabet versions are found on specific levels. Here is a
path guide for each of the levels.
Note that the directions for each level are pretty much Northeast,
northwest, southwest, southeast.

want to read all that to get to the bottom, here is some directions:
Northwest, Southwest, Northeast, Northwest, Northwest, Southwest.

|--O--| VEILSTONE GAME CORNER |--O--|
\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
\D010/
----
Located in the middle of Veilstone, the Veilstone game corner is a long
time tradition of having Slot Machines in every Pokemon game. This time,
however, it is a bit different.
First, lets go over how to even access the game corner. You must first get
a coin case from the clown in the southwestern part of Veilstone. He is in
the house to the left of the Massage Expert. Play his guessing game (it is
random), and he will eventually give you the coin case if you guess
correctly (You can keep doing this until you get it right).
Now that you have the coin case, you can actually do something at the Game
Corner. You can get the following prizes by trading in coins at the
building next to the game corner:
/----------------------------------------------\
|Prize |Cost |Money Cost |
|---------------------|------------|-----------|
|Silk Scarf |1000 Coins |20,000p |
|Wide Lens |1000 Coins |20,000p |
|Zoom Lens |1000 Coins |20,000p |
|Metronome |1000 Coins |20,000p |
|TM 90 (Substitute) |2000 Coins |40,000p |
|TM 58 (Endure) |2000 Coins |40,000p |
|TM 75 (Swords Dance) |4000 Coins |80,000p |
|TM 32 (Double Team) |4000 Coins |80,000p |
|TM 44 (Rest) |6000 Coins |120,000p |
|TM 89 (U-Turn) |6000 Coins |120,000p |
|TM 10 (Hidden Power) |6000 Coins |120,000p |
|TM 27 (Return) |8000 Coins |160,000p |
|TM 21 (Frustration) |8000 Coins |160,000p |
|TM 35 (Flamethrower) |10000 Coins |200,000p |
|TM 24 (Thunderbolt) |10000 Coins |200,000p |
|TM 23 (Ice Beam) |10000 Coins |200,000p |
|TM 29 (Psychic) |10000 Coins |200,000p |
|TM 74 (Gyro Ball) |15000 Coins |300,000p |
|TM 68 (Giga Impact) |20000 COins |400,000p |
\----------------------------------------------/
You have two choices: Either buy the coins from the lady at the front, or
win them from the slot machines. You can buy 50 Coins for 1,000p, or 500
Coins for 10,000p (Which is why I added the total cost if you just want
to buy coins for the sake of getting the TMs and items). Just to give you
a general idea: you have a max of 999,999p, so Giga Impact will cost you
about half of your maximum, which can take several trips to the Elite Four
just to get.
There is also a hidden TM here, TM 64 (Explosion). While many will not even
attempt to get it, it does have its uses. The only way to get it is to get
10 bonus rounds in a row (harder then it sounds). You also cannot get the
TM again once you earn it, so use it wisely.
As for the slots, they are somewhat different then previous games. You
automatically spend 3 coins when you play, and can match diagonal, top,
middle, and bottom this time around. Here are the Symbols and what they
each do:
/----------------------------------------------------------\
|Symbol Name |Coins |Effect |
|----------------|------------|----------------------------|
|Pokeballs |2 |None |
|Pikachu |10 |Common in normal mode |
|Replay |0/15* |Gives you a free replay. |
|Moon Stone |15 |None |
|Galactic Symbol |100 |Activates Clefairy Mode |
|7s |100 |Activates Clefairy Mode |
\----------------------------------------------------------/
*0 in Normal, and 15 during Clefairy and Bonus modes
There are three modes in general: Normal Mode, Clefairy Mode, and Bonus
Mode.
Normal Mode is the first mode, and the one you start out with. You are most
likely to have Pikachu and Moonstones to be matched. During this time,
Pokeballs will roll out at the bottom at random. They appear in a random
order, although which Pokeball it is will determine what Clefairy comes
out. Here are the types of clefairy's that come out, and what they do:
/----------------------------------------------------\
|Ball Type |Clefairy Type |Effect |
|-------------|------------------|-------------------|
|Premier Ball |Ditto Clefairy |Bonus mode has a |
|Poke Ball | |less likely chance |
|Great Ball | |of continuing |
|-------------|------------------|-------------------|
|Great Ball |Normal Clefairy |Bonus mode has a |
|Safari Ball | |normal chance of |
| | |continuing. |
|-------------|------------------|-------------------|
|Ultra Ball |Shiny Clefairy |Bonus mode has a |
|Safari Ball | |high chance of |
| | |continuing. |
\----------------------------------------------------/
Note that the Clefairy can also pop out of other balls, although these are
the particular balls I have seen them most likely come out of. Ditto
Clefairy looks like Clefairy with a plain face, Normal Clefairy has brown
ears, and Shiny Clefairy has green ears. Each of them pop up at random, and
can pop out of a Pokeball onscreen at any time, reguardless of what you get
on the slots.
The next mode is Clefairy Mode, and that is activated when you do get a
Clefairy to pop out. During this mode, 7s and Galactic symbols are more
likely to line up reguardless of what you do on the reels. Its good to note
that each type of clefairy has the same chances of making 7 or Gs line up,
so don't worry if you got a Ditto Clefairy. Once you do line them up, it
will take you to the Bonus Round.
The bonus round is sort of interesting. On the bottom screen, the clefairy
you got will signal to the left, right, and middle. What you are supposed
to do is match up Clefairy's movements. For example:
-If it signals to the left, press Y
-If it signals to the middle, press B
-If it signals to the right, press A
What this does is match up the reels to get a Replay. When it does, it will
give you 15 coins. Each round consists of 15 turns, meaning you have the
potential to make 225 Coins a round, if you do not miss a beat.
There are two things to watch out for: The Red Moon and the White Moon.
If a weird sound is made and the moon in the background changes to a red
color, DO NOT FOLLOW CLEFAIRY! It will lower your chances of the round
continuing. IF a white moon shows up, it is sort of a freebie and allows
you to continue, even if the clefairy is called back to its Pokeball. You
know you got a white moon when the same sound from the red moon plays, yet
the moon does not turn red.
The chances of it repeating seem to depend on how fast you follow
Clefairy's movements, if you missed any moves, if you followed its moves
on a red moon, what Clefairy type you have, and if you got a white moon
or not. Even if you do all the moves correctly, there is still a chance
it will be called back. With ditto clefairy, the max I ever got was 6,
Normal Clefairy got 7, and the max I ever got for a Shiny Clefairy is 10.
Keep in mind that it is all random, so you still have a chance of getting
a perfect 10 even if you have a Ditto Clefairy.
Once you do get 10 in a row, go up to the front counter where you got your
coins from, and you will get the TM for explosion. Keep in mind that the
slots are far easier to win at when compared to previous generations, so
you may want to spend a little time trying your luck instead of spending
all your hard earned money on coins to get the prizes.

|--O--| GBA SLOT POKEMON |--O--|
\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
\D011/
----
In what may be the oddest way to get Pokemon, GBA Slot Pokemon are a clever
way to get you to buy the GBA games to get certain Pokemon. In fact, there
are many older Pokemon you can only get by doing this method. Not only that,
but there are new Pokemon evolutions that can only be reached by doing this
method (Electivire and Magmotar).
So, how does it work? First of all, you will need to get the National Dex
for Pokemon gotten with this method to start appearing. Next, you will need
to plug in the Pokemon GBA game in the DS's GBA slot BEFORE you turn on the
DS, or else it will not work. Note that the Pokemon will stop appearing once
you switch to another cart, so make sure you get them while you have it
hooked up.
After all that is done, specific Pokemon of that cart will start appearing.
Here is a list of all the Pokemon that appear by cartriage, and the location
they appear at:

Note that some Pokemon can be found in other games. For example: Sandshrew
and Sandslash can be found in RSE. Weedle, Caterpie andtheir evolutions can
be caught in both FR/LG. Haunter can be caught in turnback cave, all of the
Emerald Pokemon can be caught in the Safari Zone in Emerald after completing
that version's Elite Four. Lotad and Seedot can be caught in Emerald,
Seviper and Solrock can be caught in Emerald.
With that being said, there are some Pokemon that are hard to come by, such
as Zangoose, Lunatone, Vulpix, Growlithe, Elekid, Magby, and Gengar if you
don't have anyone to trade with. So, in the end you will need all the
versions to get all the Pokemon if you cannot trade for them or borrow
someone elses versions.
With all that being said, the Pokemon listed above will start appearing on
the locations above with a 8% encounter rate. Because of that, many of them
are very rare. However, they will always appear like regular wild Pokemon
and do not have any other drawbacks like the Pokeradar and Swarms do.
However, it is highly recommended you have both FireRed and LeafGreen. Why?
They are currently the only ways to get two Generation IV Pokemon outside
trading for them on the GTS: Electivire and Magmotar. These evolutions of
Electabuzz and Magmar respectively are very strong and are decent Pokemon
in their own right. However, the items you need to get them can only be
gotten by catching Elekid and Magby: two Pokemon that only appear if you
have FR/LG. Not only are they hard to find, but their items USUALLY have a
5% encounter rate.
However, there is a small trick to getting the items easier. In Diamond
Version, the item needed to evolve Electabuzz is found more often on Elekid
(50% chance of finding it), while Pearl has a higher chance of getting the
item needed to evolve Magmar on wild Magby (Same 50% chance). So, use
FireRed on Diamond and LeafGreen on Pearl to find those two items easier.

\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
\D012/
----
First introduced in GSC, Swarms have been sort of a odd thing. In the older
generations, some rare Pokemon would only be realistically catchable during
a swarm. However, D/P have changed the method swarms are handled and is now a
daily event.
After you beat the Elite Four and get the National Pokedex, Swarms will
start happening each day. To find out which Pokemon is swarming, then check
either on the TV or fly to Sandgem Town and talk to Rowan's Assistant's
sister to find out (His/Her house if found to the southeast of Rowan's lab).
The thing to note about swarms is that they are pre-choosen each day at
12:00 AM, and are always random. There are times where I may see a bunch of
Spinda several times a week, and very rarely Nosepass. Then all of a sudden,
I have Nosepass start appearing more often. With that beingsaid, you really
have no idea until you find out which Pokemon is swarming.
Here is a list of all the Pokemon that Swarm and their location based on
the Route and area they appear at:
/===================================================\
|Pokemon |Location |
|===================|===============================|
|Doduo |Route 201 |
|Zigzagoon |Route 202 |
|Cubone |Route 203 |
|Nosepass |Route 206 |
|Phanpy |Route 207 |
|Dunsparce |Route 208 |
|Snubble |Route 209 |
|Absol |Route 213 |
|Spoink |Route 214 |
|Drowzee |Route 215 |
|Delibird |Route 216 |
|Swinub |Route 217 |
|Voltorb |Route 218 |
|Farfetch'd |Route 221 |
|Skitty |Route 222 |
|Natu |Route 224 |
|Makuhita |Route 225 |
|Krabby |Route 226 |
|Spinda |Route 227 |
|Beldum |Route 228 |
|Pidgey |Route 229 |
|Corosola |Route 230 |
|Surskit |Lake Verity |
|Lickitung |Lake Valor |
|Smoochum |Lake Acuity |
|Slakoth |Eterna Forest |
|Electrike |Valley Windworks |
|Magnemite |Fuego Ironworks |
\---------------------------------------------------/
As you can see, some of the Pokemon are rare ones (Such as Nosepass, Beldum,
Corosola, Lickitung, Slakoth), while others are very commonPokemon from the
GBA games. Its also good to note that swarming Pokemon's apperance rate is
40%, meaning every other encounter will pretty much be that Pokemon in most
cases. Swarm Pokemon will appear until 11:59 PM, and then the new Pokemon
for the next day will be choosen.
You can, however, fool the game to speed up the process. Set the clock to
11:59 on your DS and then get into the game as fast as you can. When the
clock hits 12:00, the game will think it is the next day and a new Pokemon
will be choosen. Good if you do not care about cheating the clock and want
to get a specific Pokemon.
And finally, you can use the Pokeradar on swarming Pokemon. Not only that,
but they are almost guranteed to appear due to their high apperance ratio.

|--O--| POKERADAR POKEMON |--O--|
\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
\D013/
----
In what may be the oddest way to get new Pokemon, the Pokeradar is a new
addition to Pokemon. Similar to the VS Seeker, it takes 50 steps for it to
charge and be useable.
How the Pokeradar works is somewhat complex: When you use the radar in a
grassy area, it will cause a random patch of grass to move around. There
are three types of grass:
* Normal Grass: This is grass that moves around, but not that much. Has a
normal chance of finding a normal Pokemon on the route.
* Rustle Grass: This is grass that moves around more then the normal
grass. This means that there is a higher chance that a
Pokeradar Pokemon can be found in that particular patch
of grass.
* Shiny Grass: This is grass that glows a golden color. This grass means
that there is a Shiny Pokemon inside.
There are two purposes for the Pokeradar: Chains and Pokeradar Pokemon.
Pokeradar Pokemon are Pokemon from the Kanto/Johto/Hoenn regions that can
only be caught by using the Pokeradar. When looking for these Pokemon, look
for the grass that rustles more. It will break your chain if you don't find
it the first time, but gives you a rare chance of catching it.
The second is chaining. This is where you encounter the same Pokemon over
and over. Chaining can end if you run from the battle or encounter a
different Pokemon then the first one you encountered. The chain continues
if you catch the Pokemon or faint it, making it great for EV training
certain Pokemon. If you want to chain, use the same grass that you entered
the first time you entered Pokeradar mode on that route.
Part of the advantage of chaining is the possibility that you will run into
shiny grass, or grass that has a Shiny or different colored Pokemon inside.
If you run into this type of grass, go to it. While chaining itself does not
increase the chances of a Shiny Pokemon appearing, it does allow you to aim
for what Shiny Pokemon you want if you do a chain.
Keep in mind that you can still encounter normal Pokemon on the route, which
is why you should use a Max Repel whenever you plan on going for long chains
or looking for rare Pokemon. If you encounter a wild Pokemon not found in
grass that moved around, Pokeradar mode will end and you will have to charge
the radar again.
Now for the rare Pokemon themselves. This is a list of all the non-Sinnoh
Pokemon you can find while doing Pokeradar mode:
/=========================================================================\
|Pokemon |Location |Rarity |
|===================|===============================|=====================|
|Nidoran Female |Route 201 |2% in D, 20% in P |
|Nidoran Male |Route 201 |20% in D, 2% in P |

|Skiploom |Route 205 (North only)/Fuego I.|2% |
|Baltoy |Route 206 |22% |
|Stanler |Route 207 (Pearl) |22% |
|Larvitar |Route 207 (Diamond) |22% |
|Tyrogue |Route 208 & 211 |22% |
|Tauros |Route 209 & 210 |20% in D, 2% in P |
|Miltank |Route 209 & 210 |2% in D, 20% in P |

|Swablu |Route 211 |22% |
|Grimer |Route 212 |22% |
|Smeargle |Route 212 |22% |
|Swellow |Route 213 |22% |
|Houndoom |Route 214 & 215 (Pearl) |22% |
|Mightyena |Route 214 & 215 (Diamond) |22% |
|Snorunt |Route 216, 217/Acuity Lakefront|22% |
|Ditto |Route 218 |22% |
|Nidorina |Route 221/Valor Lakefront |2% in D, 20% in P |
|Nidorino |Route 221/Valor Lakefront |20% in D, 2% in P |
|Flaafy |Route 222 |22% |
|Duskull |Route 224 |20% |
|Dusclops |Route 224 |2% |
|Mankey |Route 225 & 226 |2% |
|Primeape |Route 225 % 226 |20% |
|Torkoal |Route 227/Stark Mountain |22% |
|Trapinch |Route 228 |2% |
|Vibrava |Route 228 |20% |
|Venonat |Route 229 |2% |
|Venomoth |Route 229 |20% |
|Togepi |Route 230 |22% |
|Mareep |Valley Windworks |22% |
|Wobbuffett |Lakes Verity, Valor, and Acuity|22% |
|Nincada |Eterna Forest |22% |
|Loudred |Mt. Coronet |22% |
|Aron |Fuego Ironworks (Diamond) |22% |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
All of them have either a 22% encounter rate or 2% (Many times depending on
the version). This means that on top of any other Pokemon on the route, you
have the slim chance of finding these Pokemon while going in the more
rustiling grass. Best to have False Swipe and a Pokemon at a high enough
level to get these Pokemon (Since many of them such as Togepi appear at
lower levels dispite appearing in high level routes).
There is also a way to manipulate certain Pokemon into appearing. By putting
a Pokemon with Static (Electric Pokemon) or Magnet Pull (Steel Pokemon) at
the front of your party, which increases your chances of finding a certain
Pokemon of those types. The effect also works if they are fainted.

/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Daily/Weekly Events |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
======================
||Jublife TV Lottery||
===========================================================================
Ever since the G/S/C days of Pokemon, the lottery has been a staple of a
getting a Master Ball. While pretty much the same, it has a few differences.
Unlike other versions, you can now win other prizes as well as the Master
Ball. In order to participate, go to Jublife city and head north to the
giant building with a big ass TV on the top of it. You can only enter it
once you get your first badge.
The lottery works like this: talk to the lady at the front desk, and she
will draw a lotto ticket (The ticket is chosen at the start of each day,
so you cannot exploit it like other time events), it will have 5 digits.
Starting from the far right digit, it will scan all your Pokemon for that
number (0-9), and then continue to the next digit.
For example, say the lotto number is 10489 and your ID is 39809. You will
win the 4th prize because your digits matched up.
Here are the possible prizes for the lotto:
Match 1 number : Background accessory for contests
Match 2 numbers: PP Up
Match 3 numbers: Exp Share
Match 4 numbers: Max Revive
Match 5 numbers: Master Ball
When you first start entering, you will pretty much always lose. However,
you will start winning far more once you start trading on the GTS. In fact,
it usually gets to the point where you win every single time. For me, I
usually get the PP Up (Which is a great prize when compared to the crappy
Max Revive they give you for 2nd place). I have only gotten the Exp. Share
once, and never the Master Ball or Max Revive. In fact, you have a greater
chance of getting a maer ball through the GTS then you do the lottery, so
that may be the ple to look.
System Error has this to add:
"It might be good to mention that you can no longer win the 4th place
prize (backdrops) when you have them all."
===========================================================================
====================
||Drifloon Fridays||
===========================================================================
Drifloon, one of the new ghost types, is a interesting one. Not only is its
evolution one of the highest HP baton passers, but it is a decent ghost
and flying type as well. However, you can only find Drifloon on one day
of the week at the Valley Windworks east of Floaroma Town. If I remember
correctly, it only appears during the day and at lv 15 (A reader named Dave
has also claimed that he found one at level 22, so it may vary from week to
week. Also good to remember is that because of its ghost type, false swipe
will not work on it so bring a lower level Pokemon that can damage ghost
types. Like any legendary, you can save in front of it.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| In terms of what I mean during the day is this: He first appears |
| during the day, but you can catch him up to 12:00 AM the next |
| day (Saturday). |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
===========================================================================
=========================
||The Newspaper Company||
===========================================================================
For those looking for a small task every day, head to the building next to
the Solaceon Town Pokemon Center and speak to the man at the desk. Every
day, he will ask you to bring one of the Sinnoh Dex Pokemon to him to write
about (I have yet to see a National Dex one). From the time you talk to
him, you only have until 11:59 PM that night to bring him the Pokemon he
requests. If you do manage to bring him the Pokemon he wants to look at, he
will give you 3 of any of the available balls in the game.
There is also a way to control what balls you get. By saving right before
you bring him the Pokemon, he will give you a different set of ball each
time. This way, you can get some of the better balls (Like dusk balls,
ultra balls, timer balls, etc). I am also positive that you can control
what Pokemon he asks for each day by saving before you talk to him the
first time that day. Also, you can not get Park Balls, Master Balls, and
Cherish Balls from him
===========================================================================
==============================
||Veilstone Pokemon Massages||
===========================================================================
Like many other versions, the massage lady has been a staple of helping you
make a Pokemon like you more, either for the Return move or to make them
evolve. However, there is a small new twist this time around.
In Veilstone City, there is a a pair of houses on the lower left part of
town. The left house is home to the Pokemon Massage lady, who will give one
of your Pokemon a massage each day. Not only will it slightly increase your P
okemon's happiness level, but you will get one of several contest items for
it. Here is a list of what you can get:
- Sparks
- Mystic Fire
- Glitter Powder
- Snow Crystal
- Shimmering Fire
- Pretty Dewdrop
- Determination
- Puffy Smoke
- Spring
- Wealthy Coin
- Humming Note
- Peculiar Spoon
- Eerie Thing
- Poison Extract
- Seashell
- Shiny Powder
It is also good to note that all the items are random and not tied to any
particular Pokemon. You can also control what item you get by saving right
before you get the massage, and reload your game if you get something that
you do not want.
===========================================================================
=============================
||The Seven Star Restaurant||
===========================================================================
Located at the Lake Valor Lakefront Resort, there is a building south of
the gate that is a Restaurant. However, a interesting little quirk about it
is the trainers change each day. Keep in mind that it is only open from
9:00 am to 11:00 pm, so you can only go so late. I do not have that much
data on this one, and it would be great if anyone could email me about this
event.
Update: Mack2404 was kind enough to send me this little tibit on the
Seven Star Restaurant
"Whilst reading your guide (great work, by the way), I noticed you needed
some more data regarding the Lake Valor restaurant: You pretty much covered
everything there is, apart from the fact that the battles that take place
in there are 2v2 battles, and you get no items for beating all trainers
there. It is purely a daily 2v2 EXP-athon."
Sounds about right. Also, note that most of the trainers are around the
high lv 20s to 30s.
===========================================================================
====================
||The Berry Givers||
===========================================================================
There are three NPCs that will give you a wide variety of berries each
day, depending on their location. By talking to them every day, you get
a different kind of berry
- The first one can be found in the Floaroma Accessory shop, the brown
haired woman on the right. She gives common berries.
- The second one is on Route 208 (The southwestern route into Hearthome).
like the Floaroma one, he will give random berries.
- The third one is in Pastora City, in a house near the entrance to Route
212. She gives newer berries.
Like many of the other time events, you can manipulate the berry you get
by saving before you get the actual berry, and reload it and talk to that
NPC again and again.
===========================================================================
=================================
||Trophy Garden/Swarms/Pal Park||
===========================================================================
This is just a small section explaining the time aspects of the three
main ways to get National Dex Pokemon. Please refer to the main guide
for more in-depth info on these events.
- After getting the National Pokedex, the trophy garden will expand. By
talking to the owner of the mansion (on the right wing), you can get up
to two Pokemon to appear. One thing to note is you can manipulate what
Pokemon appears by saving before you talk to him. Also, there is no time
limit on the Pokemon. As long as you do not talk to the owner, the
earliest one will not change.
- After getting the national Pokedex, swarms will start to happen in certain
routes in Sinnoh. You can either find out by talking to Dawn's sister in
Sandgem town (quickest way) or by looking at the TV (may have to sit
through other stuff). Note that it changes every day at 12:00 AM and
saving and reloading does not change the Pokemon that appears, so it is
always fixed.
- ALSO after getting the National Pokedex, the Pal Park will open on Route
226. This is noteable, because you are allowed to transfer Pokemon from
your GBA games every 24 hours. Note that you must wait a FULL 24 hours to
do it again for that version (For example: if you do it at 7:25 PM,
you will have to wait until 7:25 PM to transfer from that version again).
If you mess with the DS's clock, it will restart the 24 hour timer to
whenever you messed with it.
===========================================================================
=========================
||A Great Ball a day...||
===========================================================================
Congratulations, this is the worst time event! In the Celestic Town Pokemon
Center, there is a bald man on the right that will give you a great ball if
you have a Pokemon that has a high happiness rating. Seriously...a great
ball...
===========================================================================
==================
||The Trendy Man||
===========================================================================
The "sayings are something that was introduced in Pokemon RSE. Well, in D/P
you can learn new words to say in certain conversations in order to unlock
certain things. Go to Snowpoint and head to the house on the right side.
Each day, the old man inside will give you a new word. Like other timed
events, you can exploit it by saving before you talk to him, which will
give you a different word if you reload and talk to him again.
===========================================================================
================
||The Belt Man||
===========================================================================
I must say, I hate Floatzel after going to this house every day...Anywho,
there is a man on Route 221 (the route the Pal Park is on) in a house near
the water. Its sort of a maze, so bring some repel with you (Also, its a
good idea to do this after you get the Pal Park up and running, that way
you can just fly there instead of surf).
Anywho, the old man inside works like the lottery mentioned earlier, but
with Pokemon levels. Like the lottery, it is preset and will not change if
you save and reload. For some odd reason, the levels seem to often be in the
30s range, but I have seen them in the 60s, 50s, and 70s as well at times.
Just to give you a general idea: There are 100 levels, so you have a 1 in
100 chance to get a certain number.
Once you do have a Pokemon of that number, put it at the front of your
party, and he will give you a certain item depending on how many Pokemon
you have shown to him previously
Black Belt: First time
Expert Belt: Second Time
Focus Sash: Third time
After that, he will start over at the Black Belt item.
===========================================================================
==================
||The Seals Shop||
===========================================================================
Located in Sunyshore city, there is a mart that sells seals depending on
what day it is. Unlike other events, the seals are pre-determined by day,
so you can only wait until the next day to get others. Also, if you don't
have a seal case, you can get one in Solaceon Town (Go east of the town,
then head through the jumping maze until you reach the house with the Unown
seals boy and his mother. Talk to his mother to get the case).

====================
||The Master Club ||
===========================================================================
Sort of a hidden area, the Resort Area in the island after the Elite 4 has
a club that can only be accessed once you get 8 Ribbons on one Pokemon.
Once you do have ribbons on a single Pokemon, then you can gain access. One
feature is a spa treatment on the top floor for one of your Pokemon. While
you do not get any items for it, your Pokemon's happiness is increased more
then the massage person in Veilstone.
===========================================================================
===================
||The Ribbon Lady||
===========================================================================
Located in Sunnyshore in the upper right corner house is a lady named Julia
who will give out Ribbons if you tell her a story each day. The good thing
is that you only have to use one word to tell the story, and it does not
matter what word it is. The Ribbon you get depends on what day it is, and
she will give it to the first Pokemon in your party.
/----------------------------\

| Other Side Quests |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
===================================
||Getting Different Trainer Cards||
===========================================================================
A small little addition from RSE onward, trainer cards are sort of a ID for
trainers. While it was formally the status screen, it has grown to become
its own sort of side quest. In total, there are 6 different trainer cards,
each with their own different color. These do not give you anything special
outside of bragging rights, but it IS nice to have. Here are the different
trainer cards you can earn:
/------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Red |Starting card |
|------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|Blue |Once you defeat the Elite Four, you will get this card |
|------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|Bronze|Once you defeat a contest on its Master Rank, you will get this |
| |card. |
|------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|Silver|Play the capture the flag game at least 50 times while in the |
| |underground |
|------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|Gold |Get 482 Pokemon caught in your Pokedex, excluding all the |
| |unobtainables (Such as Mew, Dexoys, etc) |
|------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|Black:|Get 100 consecutive wins (Read: not lose 100 times in a row) at |
| |the battle tower |
\------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Note that this is just the order you can do it in. In truth, the Trainer
Card system works in a Star System. Each different feat above gives you a
Star, and that is the order you get them in. For example: Say you defeat
the elite four but capture all the Pokemon before you get the one where you
beat all the contests. Instead of getting the Gold card like stated above,
you will get the bronze card.
System Error has this to add:
"Ho-Oh and Lugia aren't "unobtainables" (because of the Gamecube Pokemon
RPGs), but they don't count towards the total anyway."
===========================================================================
==============================================
||Name Rater, Move Deleter, and Move Teacher||
===========================================================================
While not quite side quests, the location of each is always a pain in the
ass to find many times. Here is a list of where you can find each and what
they do:
* The Name Rater is a old man that appears in the Eterna City apartment
complex (On the first level, if I remember correctly). The name rater
will change the name of your Pokemon as long as it has not been gotten
in a trade.
* The Move Deleter is located in a house in Canalave City. He will delete
any move (Including HMs) that your Pokemon may not need.
* The Move Teacher is found in a house in the middle of Pastoria city. He
will teach your Pokemon moves they could have learned as long as they
are at the right level. However, he requires a Heart Scale (Found on
Wild Luvdisc after the National Pokedex with a 50% chance of finding
one on it, and in the underground). Look at the Pokedex for more info
on specific moves.

======================
||Catching Spiritomb||
===========================================================================
What may be the hardest way to catch a non-lendary Pokemon, Spiritomb is a
side-quest Pokemon that requires at least two people to do the quest itself.
Before you can do anything else, you will need a certain item to start the
quest.
To begin the quest, you must find a Odd Keystone. There are two ways to find
one:
* A Blackbelt near the end of Route 208 will give you one when you talk
to him (He his hidden near the trees to the south, near the end of
the route and near the gate to Hearthome)
* A very rare chance of digging one out of the underground.
* A user by the name of Toton has this to say about a third location for
the Odd Keystone: "There's another way to find an Odd Keystone that I
didn't see mentioned in your FAQ. Besides getting one from the Black
Belt dude and digging on up Underground, you can also find one in
Twinleaf Town. In the pond south of your house you can find one using
the Dowsing Machine. It'll be on one of the trees surrounding the pond.
After you have the Odd Keystone, you will have to take it to the stone tower
on Route 209 (Its the one that looks like a well, and is near the bend to
the west part of the route). Press A to place the keystone in the tower.
The second part of the quest is the hardest. To complete it, you will have
to talk to 32 people in the underground over wi-fi (and no, you can not
talk to the Hikers that give items). Obviously, you will need another player
to do this. You can either find one in real life, or buy another DS, a
second copy of Diamond or Pearl, and get up to at least Eterna City and get
the equipment to go underground.
However, you can talk to the same person over and over to do this, so the
best thing to do is talk to them, leave, and go back. It might be a good
idea to keep a piece of paper and pen (or the point counter APP you get for
your Poketech at the Veilstone Department Store) to count how many times
you talk to that person. Once you do talk to that person 32 times, however,
you will be able to catch Spiritomb. Go back to Route 210 and to the tower
you placed the Odd Keystone in and save before you fight him.
**NOTE: A reader named César was kind enough to point out that there is a
counter on the Underground's menu that you can use to keep track
of how many people you talked to.
Spiritomb is at level 25 when you fight him, and is a dual Ghost/Dark type,
meaning it has no weakness. However, it has a high capture rate, so you may
only have to use a few Ultra Balls to get it. Its best that you bring a
Pokemon with non-normal or psychic moves to deal with it that is around
level 26-30. So, is Spiritomb even that great? He has fairy decent Defense
and Special Defense, but sucky speed and HP (although he does have a average
attack and Special Attack).
However, there is a even easier way to get a Spiritomb if you do not have
someone you can do this side-quest with and you have wireless internet. Wait
until you fight Cynthia in the Elite Four and she will have a Spiritomb.
Once you do fight it, you will be able to trade for it on the GTS. Even
then, Spiritomb is a great Pokemon to breed for others on the Global Trade
Center. You might even get some rare Pokemon yourself!
===========================================================================
=====================
||Honey Tree Guide ||
===========================================================================
Similar to the Headbutt feature first introduced in GSC, Honey trees are a
new way to catch certain Pokemon. In fact, there are 4 Pokemon you can only
get via the Honey Trees. So, how does one use them? First of all, you will
need the Honey item. Honey is sold in the Floaroma Meadow for 100p a piece
(You cannot buy in bulk like other items, however). Once you do catch a
Combee, you can also use its Honey Gather ability to get some after battle.
Secondly, you will need to find a honey tree. There are a total of 21 honey
trees all over Sinnoh. Here are the locations of the honey trees:
* Two on Route 205
* One on Route 206
* One on Route 207
* One on Route 208
* One on Route 209
* Two on Route 210
* One on Route 211
* Two on Route 212
* One on Route 213
* One on Route 214
* One on Route 215
* One on Route 218
* One on Route 221
* One on Route 222
* One in the Floaroma Meadow
* One near the Valley Windworks
* One near the Fuego Ironworks
* One near Eterna Forest
As you can see, there is pretty much a sweet honey tree in every area
besides the snow routes, the beginning routes before Floaroma Meadow, the
water routes, the battle area, and the areas around the Pokemon League.
So, how does honey trees work? You will first need at least one jar of honey
per tree. Go up to a tree and Press A and it will ask if you want to put
some honey on the tree. Press "yes" and the tree will be marked with honey.
Note that you can do this multiple times, but it will not make much of a
difference.
Next, the waiting game. Its takes about 8-12 hours for a tree to get a
Pokemon to come to it. You can encounter one of several Pokemon when using
the sweet honey trees. Here are the Pokemon that appear:
/-----------------------------\
|Pokemon |Rarity |
|----------|------------------|
|Wurmple |Common |
|Combee |Common |
|Silcoon |Uncommon (Diamond)|
|Cascoon |Uncommon (Pearl) |
|Burmy |Uncommon |
|Aipom |Uncommon |
|Cherubi |Uncommon |
|Heracross |Rare |
|Munchlax |Rare |
\-----------------------------/
As you can see, there are several rare Pokemon that can appear, with all
besides Wurmple, Silcoon, and Cascooon only catchable via the sweet honey
trees. So, how does one influence the Pokemon that appear? Well, you can't.
The game chooses what Pokemon appears before you even get there, so the type
of Pokemon is already decided (Although the level and gender changes if you
save and reset).
Best way to get a particular is to cover as many trees as you possibly can,
and check them about 6 hours later. If you cover all the trees, then that
is 21 possible Pokemon to find the one you want (Note that it will cost
2,100p to cover all the trees once if you do not use Combee's pick-up
ability).
Also, note that Combee are a bit annoying, since the males are currently
useless. If you do catch one, try to breed it to find a female. Munchlax
always carries Leftovers, so you may want to bring a Pokemon that can steal
items with the Thief move if you are not going to catch it.
Finally, note that the Pokemon will not stick around forever. After about a
day, the Pokemon that is on the tree will dissapear. Note that changing the
DS clock does not see to affect the trees, so you cannot simply change the
time to find the Pokemon you want.
Special thanks to Shukochan's Honey Tree Map on Gamefaqs on the location of
the honey trees (You may want to look at the map for more detailed location
info).
System Error has this to add:
"The location of the tree actually seems to affect the Pokemon that show
up to some extent. I don't know the specifics of this, but having
slathered all trees on eight separate occasions or so, I can definitely
say I noticed trends in some trees."
===========================================================================
===========================
||Amity Square and Items ||
===========================================================================
Located in the northern part of Hearthome, Amity Square is a bit of a odd
place. There are no battles or anything, just you walking around with one
of your Pokemon. However, only certain Pokemon can be brought out of their
Pokeballs and walked around. Here is a list of those Pokemon:
* Pikachu
* Psyduck
* Pachirisu
* Buneary
* Drifloon
* Clefairy
* Happiny
However, you can also use these Pokemon once you get the National Pokedex:
* Skitty
* Torchic
* Shroomish
* Jigglypuff
So, what is the purpose of this place? Well, the first and most obvious
reason is some of the items lying around. You can get two TM's here (TM 43
and 45: Secret Power and Attract). The Spooky Plate for Ghost Pokemon (And
making Arceus a ghost type) is found here, and the most important item, the
Amulet Coin, is hidden in one of the buildings in the northeast section of
the park.
The second purpose is a semi-hidden feature. Amity Square is one of the
easiest places to get contest items. How do you get them? First, you will
need to walk 200 steps while in the Amity Square (Best to use the Pedometer
AKA the step counter for that), and then talk to your Pokemon. It will then
give you a random contest item, ranging from common items to more rare ones.
In fact, there are many contest items you can only get by walking around
Amity Square. Also, you have a chance of picking up berries as well. Here is
a list of Pokemon and the items they can give you:
Pokemon Items:
/------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Pokemon |Common Items |Uncommon items |Rare Items |
|------------------|------------------|-----------------|----------------|
|Happiny |Pink Scale |Big Leaf |Black Stone |
|Buneary |Shed Horn |Jagged Boulder | |

| |Snaggy Pebble | | |
| |Black Fluff | | |
| |Pink Fluff | | |
| |Yellow Feather | | |
| |Pamtre Berry | | |
| |Cornn Berry | | |
| |Nomel Berry | | |
| |Magost Berry | | |
|------------------|------------------|-----------------|----------------|
|Clefairy |White Feather |Big Scale |Stump |
|Skitty |Small Leaf |Thin Mushroom | |
| |Round Stone |White Beard | |
| |Blue Scale | | |
| |White Fluff | | |
| |Orange Fluff | | |
|------------------|------------------|-----------------|----------------|
|Psyduck |Brown Fluff |Mini Stone |Thick Mushroom |

| |Thin Mushroom |White Beard | |
| |Blue Scale |Round Pebble | |
| |Blue Feather | | |
| |White Feather | | |
| |Jagged Boulder | | |
\------------------------------------------------------------------------/
As you can see, every item besides Jigglypuff has a pair that gives the same
items (Many times being older Pokemon you cannot get until you get the
National Dex).
===========================================================================
=============================
||The Floraroma Flower Shop||
===========================================================================
A little known sidequest, Floraroma is home to a flower shop in the middle
of town. While you can get a berry there each day, the other thing to do is
to trade berries for certain items. Here is a list of the items you can get:
/------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Item Name |How to Get it |
|-------------------|----------------------------------------------------|
|Red Flower |Trade 10 Razz Berries |
|Pink Flower |Trade 10 Bluk Berries |
|Orange Flower |Trade 15 Magost Berries |
|Yellow Flower |Trade 15 Rabuta Berries |
|Googly Specs |Trade 20 Nomel Berries |
|Black Specs |Trade 20 Wepear Berries |
|Blue Flower |Trade 30 Cornn Berries |
|Sweet Candy |Trade 30 Nanab Berries |
|Confetti |Trade 30 Razz Berries |
|Gorgeous Specs |Trade 40 Pinap Berries |
|Colored Parsol |Trade 50 Magost Berries |
|Old Umbrella |Trade 50 Pamtre Berries |
|Spotlight |Trade 80 Nomel Berries |
|Standing Mike |Trade 80 Bluk Berries |
|Carpet |Trade 100 Spelon Berries |
|Retro Pipe |Trade 120 Pamtre Berries |
|Fluffy Bed |Trade 150 Watmel Berries |
|Surfboard |Trade 180 Wepear Berries |
|Photo Board |Trade 200 Belue Berries |
|Cape |Trade 250 Cornn Berries |
|Mirror Ball |Trade 250 Durin Berries |
\------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Just to give you a general idea: Some of these items are very easy to get,
while ones like the Mirror Ball and Cape would take countless days of
collecting and planting all over Sinnoh just to get.
System Error has this to add:
"Let's assume you're going for a Mirror Ball, which needs 250 Durin Berries.
I will also assume you only have one on you. And, let's assume you're going
to be using Growth Mulch, which will cut the growth time down to around 2
days. And finally, let's assume you'll be watering them perfectly
throughout the growth time, in a fashion as so to reach the maximum number
of berries.
Now, the maximum amount of Durin Berries you can pick from a tree is 15.
See where this is going? Your 1 will have become 15 in just 2 days. And if
you take those, plant them and give them the same treatment, you'll get
225! Pushing it to the limit, you can take 104 of those, plant them, water
them, and you'll end up with more berries than you can hold (although it
goes without saying that it's not strictly necessary to do that; just
enough for the Mirror Ball and any extras you want). 6 days is hardly
countless.
Of course, this also applies to any other berry, so if you want a supply
of Leppa Berries, for example, you can have them. Mileage and output will
vary between the berries."
For more info on growing berries, go to the Berry section in the contest
guide (Hit CTRL + F and enter C003).

=====================
||Mr. Good's Quests||
===========================================================================
Found above a house next to the Pokemon Mart in Hearthome, Mr. Goods is a
odd man who will give you certain items for your base in the underground
if you do specific things. Here are all the base items you can get:
/-------------------------------------------------------------\
|Item Name |How to Get |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------|
|Globe |Use the GTS at least once |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------|
|Gym Statue |Given once you get all 8 badges |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------|
|Smart Cup |Beat the Master Rank for Smart Contests |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------|
|Tough Cup |Beat the Master Rank for Tough Contests |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------|
|Beauty Cup |Beat the Master Rank for Beauty Contests |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------|
|Cute Cup |Beat the Master Rank for Cute Contests |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------|
|Cool Cup |Beat the Master Rank for Cool Contests |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------|
|Yellow Crystal |Succesfully use 100 traps on people |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------|
|Blue Crystal |Talk to 100 People in the Underground |
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------|
|Red Crystal |Get 100 Rare Bones or Fossils underground|
|-------------------|-----------------------------------------|
|Pink Crystal |Give 100 items underground |
\-------------------------------------------------------------/
The Gym one is about the only one you get automatically, and the globe is
the only one you will need to connect online at least once to do. The cups
will take some time, since you need to beat 5 master rank contests just to
get them (4 contests to reach Master Rank x 5 different contests equal 20
total times you need to do it with the same Pokemon for each different
contest without having to repeat).
The Crystals are about the hardest to get, with the Red Crystal about the
only one you can do yourself. For the other ones:
- For the Pink Crystal, either have a second DS and trade items between
yourself 100 times, or do it with a friend
- For the Blue Crystal, exit and enter the underground multiple times (Like
with Spiritomb) and talk to the person 100 times.
- For the yellow, just set a assload of traps down in one hall and have your
friend run into it.
To be honest, none of them are really worth it, but awesome if you want to
show off or are bored enough.
===========================================================================
=================================
||The Underground Man's Quests ||
===========================================================================
Located in Eterna City to the right of the Pokemon Center, the underground
Man is sort of a tutorial/quest giver that you have to go to once during
the main game, and have the option of doing his quests later on. While you
do not need to do his missions, they do allow you to get some free stuff
and allow you to make your secret base. Its also good to note that the
missions stack, so if you finish a requirement for one mission before doing
the next, then you will get credit for that mission. Here are his missions.
*The first mission is to get the Explorer Kit from him and go into the
Underground. You are forced to get the explorer kit from him no matter
what during the main game, so you should have it already. Simply go
outside and open your item bag and select the explorer kit. It will
tell you that it is launching wi-fi mode, and then you will be transported
underground where you will meet Roark. Once you have done this, head back
up and talk to the underground man to get some traps.
*The second mission is to dig up some spheres and/or fossils. If you are
like me, then you will pretty much do this mission without even knowing
it. All I really did was go to the underground and dug up some spheres,
and I finished the mission. You get several low sized spheres for your
efforts.
*The next mission is a bit different. He wants you to bury spheres in the
underground so they will grow. If you still have the spheres he gave
you, then go to the underground and open your inventory. Choose the sphere
option, and select what sphere you want to bury. Press A, and a box
asking if you want to bury it will come up. Bury it, and go back to him
to get the Digger Drill used to make your base. Note that you can do this
with any of your spheres.
*The next mission requires you to make your secret base. Its recommended
that you do this in a spot you will be in quite a bit (Near Jublife may
not be too bad). Head to the underground and choose the wall you want your
secret base on, and go to your traps menu. Select the drill, and it
will create your base. Head back and he will give you some furniture for
your secret base.
*The final mission requires you to decorate your Secret Base, which you
might have done earlier. Simply head to where your base is, and go inside.
Access the PC, and move a item from your PC on your base. It does not need
to be one of the items the Underground Man gave you, either. Once you go
back to him, he will give you a doll.
Once you do all the missions, talk to him and he will tell you how to move
the boulders in your base.
===========================================================================
==================
||In-Game Trades||
===========================================================================
In all Pokemon games, there are trades you can do outside of trading with
a friend or on the GTS. In D/P, there are four trainers across Sinnoh who
will do a trade with you. Here are their locations and what Pokemon is
needed.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Pokemon you get |Traded Pokemon |Info |
|----------------|---------------|----------------------------------|
|Abra |Machop |Located in Oreburgh City in the |
| | |second condominium, a woman will |
| | |trade Abra for a Machop. You can |
| | |find a Machop on Route 207, which |
| | |is north of Oreburgh City. It |
| | |is attached with a Oran Berry. |
|----------------|---------------|----------------------------------|
|Chatot |Buizel |Go to the Condominium in Eterna |
| | |City that is next to the Pokemart.|
| | |Inside, there is a trainer that |
| | |will trade a Chatot for a Buizel. |
| | |You can find Buizel on Route 205 |
| | |and the Valley Windworks. |
|----------------|---------------|----------------------------------|
|Haunter |Medicham |In Snowpoint City, there is a |
| | |house in the upper left corner |
| | |where you can trade a Medicham for|
| | |a Haunter. You can find a Medicham|
| | |on Route 217, not far from where |
| | |you are at. Note, however, that |
| | |the Haunter is holding a Everstone|
| | |and will not evolve when you get |
| | |it. |
|----------------|---------------|----------------------------------|
|Magikarp |Finneon |A very unique trade. On Route 226,|
| | |there is a house in the middle of |
| | |the route with a hiker inside. He |
| | |will trade a special German |
| | |Magikarp in exchange for a |
| | |Finneon. You can find Finneon on |
| | |several routes, including Routes |
| | |205, 218, 219, and 220 when you |
| | |use the Good Rod or better. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------/
===========================
||Getting the Macho Brace||
===========================================================================
The Macho Brace is a rather valuable item to the more hardcore Pokemon
Trainers. It doubles the amount of EV given, but lowers your speed by a
little bit. In this game, there is a little bit of a sidequest to get it.
First, get three Burmys. Burmy is a fairly rare Pokemon on the Sweet honey
trees. In order to even catch it, you need some honey from the salesman
in Floaroma Town. Find a tree, and then slather it on and wait a couple of
hours. If Burmy does not appear, get some more and try again. Alternately,
you can trade for it on the GTS.
Burmy is a unique Pokemon, since it can change its forms after battle
depending on where you battled in Sinnoh. The default Plant form is the one
you will get in the wild. The other two forms are a bit tricky. The dirt
form requires you to battle Burmy in a cave (Like Mt. Coronet), and the
Trash form requires you to battle inside (Gym, Galactic Hideouts, Elite
Four, etc). Each of the three burmys need to be the three different
forms, so you will need to have a plant burmy, a dirt burmy, and a trash
burmy in your party at the same time.
The next thing to do is to go to Pastoria City and go to the house to the
north of the Pokemart. Talk to the bug trainer inside, and he will give
you the Macho Brace if you have all three burmys in your party.

|--O--| LEGENDARY POKEMON |--O--|
\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
\0A06/
----
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Uxie and Lake Acuity |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Available after beating Team Galactic on Mt. Coronet, Uxie and the rest of
the legendary lake trio will start to appear at each of the lakes in Sinnoh
in the cave in the middle. To get to Lake Acuity, you need to have surf on
one of your Pokemon, and go to the top of Route 207 (its easier to fly to
Snowpoint and then go out that way). Before you go, make sure you have the
following:
- Several Dark Balls, Timer Balls, and Quick Balls. (About 25 of each)
- A Pokemon that has Dark or Ghost moves, Dark Pokemon work best.
- Several Max Potions, Full Heals and Revives (About 20 of each)
Once you are ready, go up to Uxie and start the battle. Make sure you save
before you do so, just in case you cause it to faint.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Legendary Pokemon Uxie |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Level 50 |
|Psychic |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Uxie is sort of the Defender of the legendary trio, with a higher |
| Defense then the others. However, it mostly has support moves such |
| as Amnesia to raise its special defense, and Yawn to put your |
| Pokemon to sleep a turn later. Future Sight is another delay move |
| it has that can hurt your Pokemon several turns later, while it has|
| Confusion as a Psychic-type move. If you have to use a Pokemon to |
| Stall, a Dark Type works best. It can still be put to sleep from |
| Yawn, but Confusion and Future sight cannot hit Dark Types. It also|
| has the levitate ability, so Ground type moves will not work. Best |
| thing to do is bring a Sneasel or Weavile with Blizzard or Ice |
| Beam that can freeze Uxie (Thunder Wave also works if you have a |
| electric Pokemon). Make sure the Sneasel or Weavile has False Swipe|
| so you can get it down to 1 HP without faiting it, and then start |
| chucking Ultra Balls, Dark Balls (If it is dark out), Timer Balls |
| if it is past 30 turns, and Quick Balls at the beginning of battle.|
| Keep in mind that Uxie and the rest of the lake Trio have capture |
| rare of 3, so it will be a long and drawn out battle (It took about|
| 100 different types of Pokeballs to capture it). |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Keep in mind that Uxie is one of the Pokemon you need to complete the Sinnoh
Pokedex, so you will need to at least battle it before you get the National
Dex.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Azelf and Lake Valor |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Remember the Lake that was blown up? That was lake Valor. Head there
(Located on Route 214). If you remember correctly, it was drained the
first time you came to it. However, it has now filled back up with Water.
Use surf and head to the cavern in the middle of the lake.
- Several Dark Balls, Timer Balls, and Quick Balls. (About 25 of each)
- A Pokemon that has Dark or Ghost moves, Dark Pokemon work best.
- Several Max Potions, Full Heals and Revives (About 20 of each)
Save, and approach Azelf.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Legendary Pokemon Azelf |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Level 50 |
|Psychic |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: The second most difficult one of the legendary Trio, Azelf is the |
| overall attacker of the Trio with the highest Attack and Special |
| attack of the three. Not only does it have the usual Future Sight |
| and Confusion, but it also has Uproar, so you cannot put it to |
| sleep. Nasty Plot is a support move that raises its Special Attack,|
| so Confusion and Uproar will do even more damage. Unlike Uxie, |
| both Ghost types (not the Gengar line, since it is part poison), |
| and dark types work OK in this battle. Since Uproar causes Azelf |
| to not go asleep, it might be wise to use Freezing or Paralyze |
| moves. Problem with Azelf is that it can easily defeat your team |
| if you let it use Nasty Plot too much, so you definatly need |
| a Pokemon that has a bunch of Defense to battle it. Potions and |
| Revives are very important here, so make sure you have them stocked|
| up just in case Azelf gets the better of you. You may want to chuck|
| some Fast Balls at the beginning of battle and see if you have any |
| luck, and then go to Dark and Ultra Balls, and then eventually to |
| Timer Balls. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
As mentioned before, Azelf is one of the two you need to actually battle in
order to get the National Pokedex. However, if you are having issues getting
Azelf and just want to get the National Dex, then you can always get it in
a trade on the GTS (They are in fairly high demand).
UPDATE: A user named Nicholas sent in this info about fainting with Azelf:
"I was up to 148 pokemon in my dex and was completly unable to catch Azelf!
At the time, I was going for the National Dex but at the same time I did
not want to miss out on a rare pokemon. I found that if you fight him
and then black out in the fight he will be registered in the pokedex and
he will stay in the cave."
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Mesprit and Lake Verity |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Different from the other ones, Mesprit is similar to the Legendary Dogs
in GSC and Latias/Latios in RSE. However, unlike the others, you do not
need to fight him in order to get the National Dex.
Located at the beginning of the game near Twinleaf, Mespirit is the second
of the Lake Trio and the second one you need to actually battle in order to
get the National Dex. Fly to Twinleaf and then go north on Route 201 and
then left to find Lake Verity again, and then surf across to the cavern.
Make sure you have the following:
Once in the cave, go up to Mesprit and talk to him (Don't need to save).
When you do, his picture will come up and then run off. He will now
register in the Pokedex and count that you have seen him. If you only need
him for the National Dex, great, you have done what you needed to do. Its
even recommened that you wait until you gain access to the Pal Park and
Pokeradar before you even attempt to go after him.
However, if you want to catch him right now, it is a whole new game. If
you attempt to try to do it before doing the Elite Four, then it will be
more difficult unless you still have the master ball from earlier (You
should).
Before I go into the different ways to do this, know this: He will now
appear all over Sinnoh in tall grass. He will not appear in caves, and
will have the legendary trio music play when you do find him (The slide
animation also changes). If you have the map APP for the Poketech, then
you will be able to track where he goes (He appears as a monster head
on the map).
Now, here is the different ways you can find him.
==========================
||Before the Elite Four ||
===========================================================================
If you want to do this before the Elite Four, you can do it one of two
ways: Master Ball, or luck. With the Master Ball, you will be able to
capture him in a instant and not have to worry about anything else. If
you have already used it on another Pokemon, then this will be much
harder. If you plan on going after him without the master ball, have
the following:
- Quick Balls (About 50)
- A Dark type Pokemon around level 45-50 (Sneasel prefered)
- Max Repel
The plan here is to walk around Sinnoh until he gets close to where you are
at. This is mostly luck, since he likes to teleport around to random routes
around Sinnoh. Once he does get close, use Max Repel and go in the grass
(Make sure the level 45-50 Pokemon is the leader). With luck, you will
encounter it before it teleports. For some odd reason, I found both Mesprit
and Cresselia to the west of Hearthome, so that may be a good place to find
them at. Problem is, Mesprit will run whenever you encounter him. You can
do one of two things:
- Throw a Quick Ball at it
or
- Damage it
The quick ball will most likely fail, while damaging it will make it easier
to catch the next time you meet it. Best thing to do is focus on a powerful
attack the first time, and then do less powerful attacks as its HP drops
(Such as False Swipe). Also, try to use Freeze and Paralyze, and AVOID
POISON AT ALL COSTS! It can really screw you up if he does get poisoned.
Also, try to save before every encounter and reset if anything goes wrong.
===========================================================================
If you have already defeated the Elite Four and have the National Dex, this
is the path you want to take.
==========================
||After the Elite Four ||
===========================================================================
Fortunatly for you, it will be much easier now to catch Mesprit now that
you have access to new Pokemon. If you still have the master ball, you
can now make the choice if you want to use it on Cresselia or on Mesprit,
although each is about the same. Before you begin, this is what you will
need:
- Timer Balls, Dark Balls (if it is dark out), Quick Balls, and Ultra Balls
- A Wobbuffet at level 45-50
- Max Repel
Just like with before the Elite Four, it is mostly luck in how you find
Mesprit. Personally, I just recommend going back and fourth in between
routes (Such as Route 206 and 207) until he gets close (Check the Map
screen on the Poketech to see where he is). Once he is close, use repel
and enter the grass. With luck, you will find him almost instantly.
Unlike before, Mesprit will not run due to Wobbuffet's ability (As long
as he is the one battling). Because of that, it will be like a normal
battle and you will be able to use multiple balls.
===========================================================================
Now with that out of the way, here is Mesprit's profile:
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Legendary Pokemon Mesprit |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Level 50 |
|Psychic |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: I am going to assume you went the Wobbuffet route, so this is a |
| general explenation on how to do this battle with him. Mesprit is |
| the more balanced of the lake trio, with his stats spread out, with|
| one not as strong as the others, but higher then the lower stats of|
| the other two. Like the other lake Pokemon, Mesprit has Confusion |
| and Future Sight, as well as Lucky Chant and Charm. If you are |
| using Wobbuffet, then Mirror Coat is the attack you want to use |
| most of the time (Even better if it has Encore). If you do not feel|
| like weakening Mesprit with Wobbuffet, then I recommend attacking |
| it in normal encounters like normal and letting it run, and then |
| using Wobbuffet when it has low enough HP. Once it does, start |
| using Ultra Balls, Dark Balls if it is dark, and Timer balls after |
| 30 turns. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
A user named Bloodpool was kind enough to send in the following info:
===========================================================================
"Well, I am a big Drifloon fan (since I have a shiny one at lvl 98) At this
point, I was leaving the Valley Windworks area (entering route 205) 1 of
the 2 legendary's was at route 205 too, i've run to the very large patch of
grass and battled it.
Note: To do this trick you will need a Pokémon with a lvl between 45-50
and lots of Max Repels.
These Pokemon (Mesprit and Cressellia) always move to another route if you
do the same,if you run over and over to the first step of Valley Windworks
and route 205, you will see that these Pokemon move to another place, just
keep on running these 2 steps over and over, until you see one of the
Pokemon has entered route 205 or Valley Windworks. If it has, just use a
Max Repel and put the lvl 45-50 Pokemon in front of your party and go to a
grassy patch at the route where this Pokemon is (either Valley Windworks
or route 205). If the Pokemon is at Valley Windworks, then you can just go
into the grass there, if it is at route 205, only walk in the large grassy
patch above the Honey Tree or the small grassy patch near a ledge (just go
down the stairs nearby the Hiker and go north, then you will see it).
After a few times doing this stuff, I have caught both of them, you just
need to continue this walk in order to succeed, don't get depressed when
they stay circling aroung another area,wherever they are,they will join
route 205, for example; Cressellia was at Sunyshore city,and just flew over
and over to the routes west and north of Sunyshore, but after a few times
re-entering Valley Windworks and route 205, he flew to Fuego Ironworks and
another few steps later, he was at Valley Windworks.
I have caught both Pokemon at this way."
===========================================================================
Thank you Bloodpool for this info! Another reader that goes by the username
AngelicRogue has this to add as well:
===========================================================================
"Hey, I've been attempting to catch Mesprit and stumbled upon the advice
that the user Bloodpool gave in your Walkthrough. It works quite well and
has made things much easier. While following his advice, I figured out a
way to only battle Mesprit once, which cuts down on the time and the
bazillion Max Repels you have to use. Have a pokemon that knows Mean Look
be first in your party, preferably above level 40 (I'm using a level 42
Golbat). Once it uses mean look, Mesprit will not be able to escape as
long as the pokemon that used the move is still the one fighting Mesprit.
If you switch it out for a different pokemon or it faints, Mesprit will be
able to flee once again. If you use this tactic, the battle is basically
the same as fighting Azelf and Uxie. Just have a large amount of ultra
balls and you'll be fine."
===========================================================================
Another reader named System Error has this to add:
===========================================================================
"Get a Murkrow, a bunch of X-Spc Defends, and various balls (Dusks/Quicks/
Timers/Ultras). Make sure it's of sufficient level (somewhere in the 40s
should do it; don't go too high so you can still use repels to encounter
it), and have it know Mean Look. When you encounter it, Mean Look, and
start using the X-Special Defends to protect against Future Sight. Once
you've got six down, it basically can't touch you, so it's just a matter
of weakening it and catching it. Heal if needed. Weakening it prior with
False Swipe from something else, as always, can help."

Located in a somewhat weird place, Sendoff Spring is a location you can
get to after getting the National Dex. It is located to the right of
Route 214. Note that before you begin, you will need Surf, Rock Smash, and
Rock Climb. Note that you want to bring some high level Pokemon before
even doing this (Around lv 50-60 should be fine), while also bringing a
escape rope or two, some Full Restores and Revives, and Repels.
The Spring itself is fairly unremarkable. Outside a few Pokemon you have
seen elsewhere, your main goal is to get ot the top of the small mountain
using Rock Climb. Once at the top, head north to find a dock that you
can surf on. Surf to the other side and enter the cave.
Turnback cave is a interesting place, since it is a bit of a number
puzzle. There are a total of 25 different rooms, with the 26th room
is home ot the legendary Pokemon Giratina.
The bad thing about Turnback cave is that everything is random. Your
main goal is to find the 3 pillar rooms randomly located throughout
the maze before you enter 30 rooms total. If you enter about 30
rooms, you will have to start over. Once you do find a pillar room,
it will have a pillar that, when you read it, will give you two
numbers. The top one is how many pillars you have found, and the bottom
one is how many rooms you have been in.
Many of the rooms will require Rock Smash, while some will not require
any. Once you do find all 3 pillar rooms, you will be in the same room
wil the legendary Pokemon Giratina. Save, and go up to it.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Legendary Pokemon Giratina |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Level 70 |
|Ghost/Dragon |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: Giratina is a interesting lengendary, since it is one of the only |
| Ghost/Dragon type Pokemon out there. Not only that, but it is the |
| only Pokemon that is effected by both of its types. Both Dragon |
| and Ghost type attacks work well, so use Palkia/Dialga or Gengar to|
| do some major damage to it. Like every other Legendary Pokemon, it |
| has a capture rate of 3, so make sure you get it down as far as |
| possible. Dark and Ultra balls are your best shot, but start using |
| Timer Balls after 30 turns or so. Sleep works best, but Paralyze is|
| your better shot |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you do capture it, it will be a pain in the ass to go out. I am pretty
sure you can use a escape rope to exit, so use it now.
UPDATE: A reader named trumpet_dude was kind enough to send in this info:
"I found an escape rope in Turnback Cave was not necessary. All I had to
do was exit Giratina's room and I was back at the start room. For double
confirmation, I also did the same on my cousin's game."
There is also one more thing you can do in the turnback cave if you want
to. There is a small game you can play for some other rare items. The
general idea is to get to the room Giratina was at under 30 rooms again,
but the less rooms you go to will give you better items. Like before, you
have to go to the 3 pillar rooms before you can enter the room Giratina
was at. Here are the items you can get:
-Reaper Cloth (Less then 3 rooms, hard as hell)
-Rare Bone (4-15 rooms, about average)
-Stardust (16-30 rooms, not worth it)
Since you can get the Reaper Cloth elsewhere, I would hold off before you
try to get one.

In what may be one of the weirdest, longest ways of getting a lenegndary,
Snowpoint Temple is quite a bit of fun. However, you will need to do some
things in other games before you can do much of anything inside.
First, you will need to beat the Champion just so you can get inside.
Even then, you can't do much inside besides catch some wild Pokemon. To
get the lengendary Pokemon inside, you will need to do the following:
* Get the National Pokedex
* Open the Pal Park
* In Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald you will need to transfer the lengendary
Pokemon Regirock, Registeel, and Regice.
* Put all 3 in your party
So, what do you do if you do not have RSE? Sadly, you will either have to
buy it or trade from a friend that has them. If you missed one your
first time, you may need to restart your RSE game (Make sure you transfer
all your Pokemon over to DP first).
The biggest problem with this legendary is that he is one of the strongest
non-event Pokemon in the game. You will need to bring several strong lv
70-100 Pokemon, preferably one that has a high defense rating. Before you
do head to Snowpoint Temple, buy as many Revives, Full Restores, Timer
Balls, Quick Balls, Ultra Ball, and repels that you can buy. You will also
need Rock Smash and Strength.
The Temple itself is split up into 6 floors, with the first floor simply
being the entrance with no puzzles. The rest of the floors have mazes and
puzzles.
As some people know, I hate mazes, However, a reader named Robert was
kind enough to send in this info on how to navigate Snowpoint Temple.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Floor # |Info |
|----------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|Floor 1 |Enter the temple. Pretty straightforward. Staircase is in |
| |upper right corner. |
|----------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|Floor 2 |(From exiting staircase) 5 steps down, 5 steps right(not |
| |including the slide on the ice, so on 4th step, you slide, |
| |then take 1 more step, to edge of next patch of ice), 2 steps |
| |down, 1 step right(to go on ice and slide to end), Then go up |
| |the stairs. |
|----------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|Floor 3 |(From exiting stairs) Go all the way left to the wall, then |
| |go all the way down. 2 steps right, 4 steps up, 2 steps right,|
| |4 steps down. Go all the way right then go 3 left, 1 down, 2 |
| |left, 3 steps up, 1 step left, 1 step dowb, Then go to the |
| |right over the ice and then go down stairs |
|----------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|Floor 4 |(From exiting stairs) Go 3 steps left, then go all the way |
| |down (Slide on the ice). Go left 1 space then go up (ice will |
| |slide you until you hit the rock). Go right (ice will slide |
| |you until you hit the rock) and then go up(ice will slide you |
| |until you hit the land). Finally, go downstairs. |
|----------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|Floor 5 |(From exiting stairs) Pretty straightforward, staircase is |
| |on topright like all other floors. |
|----------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|Floor 6 |(From exiting stairs) Go 1 step left, then go down (Slide on |
| |ice). Now you should be on a patch of regular land, from there|
| |take 1 step down, and you will be stopped by the rock. Go |
| |right(Until stopped by the rock), Go up(now you should be on |
| |another patch of reg. land). Then go left(Until stopped by a |
| |rock), then down (Until stopped by a rock). Go right (until |
| |stopped by the rock). Finally, go up and face Regigigas. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you get to the 6th floor, you will battle Regigigas. Keep in mind that
you need all three Regi's in your party before you can fight him, and it
might be a good idea to save before you fight him (It is a tough fight).
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Legendary Pokemon Regigias |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Level 70 |
|Normal |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: In what may be one of the most frustrating legendary battles, you |
| have quite a bit going against you. First of all, you can only have|
| a maximum of 3 of your own Pokemon to battle Regigigas itself, with|
| the other 3 being the Regis you caught in RSE. If you did not |
| bother to train them, then this fight will be difficult. |
| |
| The second thing going against you is his special ability, Slow |
| Start. For the first 5 turns, Regigias Attack Power and Speed is |
| half of what it should be. Keep in mind that Regigias is one of the|
| strongest attack Pokemon at the game (Same spot as Slaking), so you|
| have 5 turns to do as much damage as you can to him before he |
| starts getting more powerful. |
| |
| Best thing to do is bring a strong defensive Pokemon that can take |
| Physical attacks well (AKA: A Defensive Pokemon). If Regirock is |
| at a high enough level, use him. You might want to consider using |
| the Master Ball against him, since he is going to be brutal. Only |
| use it if you have a underpowered team. Otherwise, save it for |
| the two roaming Pokemon (Unless you already used it...) |
| |
| Its also good to note that Regigias can not harm Spiritomb and |
| Sableye. If I had to go for one, get Spiritomb off the GTS if you |
| have a internet connection, or Sableeye if you have Sapphire or |
| Emerald. (Thanks to Gywall for that info) |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
After catching Regigias, your job in the temple is pretty much done. You
might want to catch some Steelix for the GTS, since they are in high
demand.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Cresselia and Fullmoon Island |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Located off the shore of Canalave City, you will need to use a boat to
get to it. Fortunatly, you don't really need anything special right now
to start this side quest besides beating the elite four and getting the
National Dex.
In a house near the boat is a child that has been asleep for awhile. After
talking to him, go outside and talk to his father to set sail on Fullmoon
island.
Once here, go up the stairs and to your right to find a path to Cresselia.
After she leaves, you will get the Lunar Wing. There is not much else to
do on this island besides go to a part of the underground you normally
couldn't get to.
Once back in Canalave City, go into the boys house and give him the Lunar
Wing to wake him up. After that, you will be able to track down Cresselia.
Cresselia itself is very similar to the Legendary Dogs from GSC/FRLG and
Latios/Latias from RSE. Fortunatly, you can use your Poketech Map to find
her. Thing is, she transports to a new area every time you enter a major
area, so it will be hard to find her. Best thing to do is wait around
on a route that changes (Like Route 210 to 215) and keep going in between
them until Cresselia is nearby.
Next problem is finding her in the grass and keeping her in battle. When
you encounter her, she will automatically run on the first turn (She will
also use the normal Wild Pokemon battle music, so you don't know when you
get her). The solution? Cresselia is lv 50, so you will need a lower level
Wobbuffet with Shadow Tag as your lead Pokemon. It needs to be low enough
that it is not higher in level then Cresselia but high enough that it
is higher in level then anything else on the route. Use repel so that the
only thing you do find is Cresselia when she is near.
If you did all that, then Cresselia will be trapped in battle due to
Shadow Tag. In my opinion, Cresselia is far harder to catch then Mesprit
is, so use the Master Ball on her if you have one.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Legendary Pokemon Cresselia |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Level 50 |
|Psychic |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: As you read above, Cresselia is a pain in the ass to find many |
| times. So much, that you should just use a Master Ball when you |
| do finally catch up to her. However, if you do not have that or |
| want to save it for Mesprit, then read on. |
| |
| Cresselia is a powerful psychic type that has the levitate ability |
| which pretty much means that she cannot be damaged by ground type |
| attacks. Not only that, but abilities such as Arena Trap that would|
| normally keep her in battle do not work. Best thing to do? Use |
| Wobbuffet to trap her in battle. |
| |
| Like previous legendaries that run, she keeps any damage you |
| inflict on her until she finally faints. If you do not have a |
| Wobbuffet, try to get a good move on her before she runs. If you |
| do not have a master ball, use Quick Balls (If you do not have a |
| Wobbuffet), dark balls if it is dark out, and Timer Balls if you |
| do have Wobbuffet and the battle goes on for more than 30 turns. |
| You may want to not use moves such as Toxic that would Poison her. |
| As long as she isn't poisoned, save after every encounter. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Once you do catch her, then congrads, you caught one of two very annoying
to get Pokemon!
A faitful reader has sent in this strategy for catching Cresselia:
===========================================================================
"In my personal experience it was not too difficult to catch Cresselia as
the only requirements were a high leveled raichu (although other electric
pokemons with speed that is high enough and has the move thunder wave are
perfectly fine) and a level 40-ish wobbuffet (not to mention a few ultra
balls to catch it with and a couple of hyper potions).
I kept the wobbuffet in the front and used repels until I encountered
Cresselia. Then I allowed Cresselia kill my wobbuffet by just continously
using safeguard. I then immediately switched out to the high level raichu
use thunder wave as soon as i encountered Cresselia. Of course, it ran
away in the 2nd turn but then it still kept its paralyzed status. I then
tracked it down again but this time I just used mirror coat and used hyper
potions when wobbuffet's health dropped to low.
Since wobbuffet has enough hp at and it is mostly strong enough to endure
a couple of hits of slash & aurora beam. All I needed was to mirror coat
two aurora beams which left Cresselia with its hp on red and paralyzed.
Then I just threw ultra balls until it was caught, while making sure by
wobbuffet did not faint by using a few hyper potions.
===============================================
||Here are a few justifications for my method||
===========================================================================
I allowed my wobbuffet to die when I first encountered Cresselia to allow
my raichu to get the first attack of thunder wave in. If I had just
swapped the Cresselia would have just fled. However, if I had put Raichu
in the front of my party the level of the Raichu will repel the Cresselia
away when I used a repel.
Of course it will be possible to just catch it without paralyzing it first
but with as sometimes you do not know how much damage your mirror coat
might inflect, it is just a insurance of easier time catching Cresselia.
The reason I did not use any other pokemon to lower Cresselia's hp was
because it will flee. By just using mirror coat (and I suppose getting
lucky with those aurora beams) it lowers Cresselia's hp low enough to be
caught.
===========================================================================
===============================================
||Here are a few problems regarding my method||
===========================================================================
*The wobbuffet cannot be high leveled enough to take too less damage
from aurora beam beacause when it mirror coats, the damage inflected
on Cresselia will be too high and another mirror coat will kill it.
*The wobbuffet cannot be too weak so that it gets easily killed by
Cresselia within a few attacks.
*The wobbuffet's level has to be just right (or within a reasonable
margin) to lower Cresselia's hp down with mirror coat
*Takes a quite a long time if you are unlucky with tracking Cresselia down
*Obviously sometimes wobbuffet might faint because of a critical hit, but
otherwise your wobbuffet should be fine with Cresselia's attacks for
sometime until it falls too low, then of which you can just use a hyper
potion.
Hope that helped. By the way, don't bother using counter to hope lowering
Cresselia's hp when it doesnt seem to be using Aurora beam at all as two
mirror coats with a lvl40ish (leeway of 2 levels up and down) wobbuffet
should be sufficient to catch Cresselia (which of course should be
paralyzed by the Raichu).
Saving in front of the patch of grass where Cresselia will appear after
you tracked it down doesn't hurt either."
===========================================================================
Thank you reader for this guide!

|--O--| EVENT POKEMON |--O--|
\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
\0A07/
----
As with other games in the series, Event Pokemon are Pokmeon that can
only be reached by a event item not accessable via normal gameplay. Many
times, these items are never given out and the Pokemon are instead
accessed via a real-life event, such as a movie opening (Often only in
Japan), or at a toystore such as Toys 'R Us in the US. As such, the only
way to get any of these Pokemon at this point is to hack the items or the
Pokemon itself. The following sections are here as a reference just in
case the item is eventually released.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Darkrai and Newmoon Island |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
In order to get Darkrai, you must get the Membership Card from a Nintendo
Event. Once downloaded via the Mystery Gift option, go to a Pokemart and
talk to the postman to get the item.
Once you have the Wonder Card, go to Canalave City and go to the Harbor
Inn at the back of the town. Note that you want to have some revives,
Ultra Balls, and potions on hand since you cannot return once you go to
the island. You will then be greeted by a man and go to sleep, and then
awaken on Newmoon Island. Head down the steps and face Darkrai (Note that
you may want to avoid saving here if something goes wrong, since you
cannot leave)
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Legendary Pokemon Darkrai |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Level 40 |
|Dark |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: The good thing about Darkrai is that he is a fairly easy legendary |
| to catch when compared to the others. The only downside is that he |
| is only weak to Fighting and Bug attacks. Fortunatly, he is only |
| resistant to ghost and dark moves, and fully resistant against |
| Psychic moves. Any other pokemon will do normal damage. |
| |
| As for attacks, Darkrai likes to use Quick Attack mostly. He can |
| also use Pursuit on occasion, and Hypnosis (Which is dangerous, |
| since his ability damages your Pokemon every turn they are asleep, |
| so make sure you either have a bunch of awakenings or a blue flute |
| on hand). It can also use Nightmare, which greatly damages you |
| while you are asleep. |
| |
| So, what would be a good Pokemon? Since Darkrai is mostly a weak |
| attacker, a defensive Pokemon with a high Defense rating would be |
| good. Pokemon like Lucario that know fighting moves may also be |
| useful, or pretty much anyone who knows Brick Break. If you can, |
| put Darkrai to sleep before you start throwing Ultra balls. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Shaymin and the Flower Paradise |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
In order to get Shaymin, you must get the Oak's Letter item from a Nintendo
Event. Once downloaded via the Mystery Gift option, go to a Pokemart and
talk to the postman to get the item.
Its good to note that you need to have defeated the Elite 4 to access
Shaymin. Go to Route 224 via the Victory Road path and go to the end of the
route to find a stone. Once you do and you have the Oak's Letter item,
Prof. Oak will be there and start talking to you. Afer a little while, a
flowery road will appear and Shaymin will go back across. Go down the
long flower road to reach the Flower Paradise. Save and talk to Shaymin
to battle it.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Legendary Pokemon Shaymin |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Level 30 |
|Grass |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: What may be even easier then Darkrai, Shaymin is a very delicate |
| legendary fought at level 30. Because of that, you may want to |
| have some Pokemon that know False Swipe, or lower level Pokemon |
| that will not outright knock it out. |
| |
| Like Darkrai, it is not much of a Attacker, but it does have many |
| healing moves that can make catching it a pain. Synthesis can |
| pretty much restore most of its HP when it gets down there, while |
| Leech Seed slowly damages your Pokemon and heals Shaymin (Switch |
| out if that happends). Defense Curl makes damaging Shaymin with |
| Physical attacks hard, and Magical Leaf is one of the only pure |
| damaging move it has. |
| |
| So, what works best? Shaymin is weak to Bug, Fire, Flying, Ice, and|
| Poison attacks and is resistant to Grass, Ground, Water, and |
| Electric moves. Like I said earlier, False Swipe is a good move if |
| you have high level Pokemon, although a lower level flying Pokemon |
| such as Staraptor with flying moves do well. Its also a good idea |
| to put it to sleep or freeze it so it cannot use its healing moves.|
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Arceus and the Hall of Origin |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
In order to get Arceus, you must get the Azure Flute item from a Nintendo
Event. Once downloaded via the Mystery Gift option, go to a Pokemart and
talk to the postman to get the item.
Its good to note that Arceus is the strongest wild Pokemon in the game, so
it is recommended that your party is at least 60-65 before you try, although
a Pokemon 70 or above wouldn't hurt. Make sure you buy a bunch of Ultra
Balls before you go, since it is hard getting back to the Hall of Origin
once you are in Mt. Coronet.
To reach the Hall of Origin, go to the Spear Pillar on the top of Mt.
Coronet where you caught Dialga/Palkia in the main story. If you have the
flute, it will ask if you want to play it and make a staircase appear.
Climb it and save before you fight Arceus.
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Legendary Pokemon Arceus |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Level 80 |
|Normal |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Info: As stated before, Arceus is the most powerful legendary in any of |
| the games. With a base of 120 in every stat, it will take a rather |
| strong Pokemon to stand up against him (I recommend legendaries). |
| |
| Due to Arceus's default Normal type, it is weak against fighting |
| moves and is resistant to Ghost moves. However, a Ghost Pokemon can|
| also be resistant to one of two of Arceus's attacks, so Giratina is|
| a must if you need a strong Pokemon. |
| |
| Arceus will use Future Sight most of the time, a psychic move that |
| hits two turns after he uses it. He also likes to use Refresh a |
| bunch, which cures Poison/Burn/Paralysis. That means that you will |
| either have to put him to sleep or freeze him (Might want to use |
| Ice Beam in that case). It will also use Recover when it gets low |
| on health, so make sure you have it asleep/frozen for most of the |
| fight. |
| |
| The most devistating attack Arceus has is Hyper Beam, which can |
| knock out most Pokemon with a weak Special Defense. The good thing |
| is you can use the turn after it uses Hyper Beam to recover your |
| Pokemon. |
| |
| So, who should you use? The only two Pokemon that are completely |
| resistant to both Future Sight and Hyper Beam are Sableye and |
| Spiritomb. Both are Dark/Ghost and are resistant to Normal and |
| Psychic attacks. If you put Hypnosis on one of them, you could make|
| the fight far easier. Giratina is another good choice if you do |
| not have either of them, since it can take Future Sight pretty well|
| and is resistant to Hyper Beam. To damage Arceus, you might want to|
| use your most powerful attacks, such as Ice Beam/Brick Break/Surf |
| and so on. |

\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
\U001/
----
A special new feature added in the Sinnoh series of games, the Underground
is a local wi-fi enabled area of the game where you can do a variety of
things, including making a Secret Base and digging up rare items, some that
can only be gotten underground.
To start out in the underground, you will need to visit the Underground
Man in Eterna City. He is to the right of the Pokemon Center and is
required before you leave Eterna for the first time. He will give you the
Explorer Kit, which allows you to go to the underground anytime you are
outside. You will be required to launch the DS's local Wi-Fi and then you
will be transported to the underground.
The first time you are underground, you will meet Roark and he will tell
you about some of the things you can do underground. Once he leaves, you
will be in full control.
First thing to note is the map. It shows the general areas you can go to
while underground, as well as treasure locations. After a minute or two,
several treasure locations will flash on the map. Head to where it is
located and touch the touch screen. If there is any treasure on the screen,
it will flash in a diamond shape. Anything on the ground is a trap or
buried Sphere and everything on the wall is a mineable spot. This is the
mining minigame, as explained below.
U002:
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Mining for Treasure |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
The mining mini-game is a special touchscreen only game where you dig for
treasure in the walls of the underground. You have a 13 x 10 wall of dirt
you can dig in, with a total of 130 different spots in the wall. You have
two different tools you can use: A small pick-axe that allows you to mine
one square at a time, and a hammer that allows you to clear in a cross
manner.
You have two different tools. The small pick-axe will break the wall in
50 hits, while the hammer will break the wall in 25. The pick-axe allows
you one square while slightly weakening the surrounding squares, while the
hammer gives you 5 squares at a time in a + formation.
The next thing to worry about is the dirt. There are several different
kinds that appear on the screen, and it takes a certain amount of tool uses
to get to the bottom layer. The hardest layer is rock, with the next
hardest is a grey layer with pebbles in it. Next is the brown layer, which
is the weakest and easiest to get through, and then finally the final
layer: A whitish-grey with nothing on it. This is the layer the items are
found in.
There are several different things you will find. The most common is hard
rock, a rectangular stone that cannot be broken and is randomly put in a
wall to waste your time. The next common is spheres: A type fo currency
used in the underground to buy various items for your base. There are
several types: Red, Green, and Blue being the most common, while Prism and
Pale are more rare. They also come in two different sizes: Small (1-10) and
Large (11-21). If you successfully get all the items before the wall
breaks, you will get a size bonus on your spheres. You can hold up to 40
spheres.
The final thing you will find is various items, from fossils, elemental
plates to evolution stones. These are the major prize, and the stuff that
you will be digging for most of the time. These types of items are
uncommon, and usually appear in 1 in ever 3 digs. Even then, many of the
items are hard to find and might take many different digs to even get them.
With that in mind, here is a list of the items. Some items can only be
gotten after the National Dex is unlocked, while others are just more rare
before the national dex. The size is the amount of pixels the item takes
up. Many times, a item cam be flipped around in a different direction, so
you pretty much have to look everywhere in the wall for them. Its best to
start with the hammer and knock away the easiest to break layers of dirt,
and then use the pickaxe for the harder layers. It covers more ground and
gives you a idea if a item is there or not.

U003:
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Secret Base |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
First introduced in Gold and Silver, Secret Bases allow you to customise
your area and interact with other players. In Diamond and Pearl they are
located in the Sinnoh Underground. However, you must first do several small
side quests for the Underground Man located in Eterna City next to the
Pokemon Center. To unlock the ability to get a secret base, do the following
for him after accepting his quests:
1. Go underground and then go back up and talk to him.
2. Go back to the underground and dig up a item in the underground and talk
to him.
3. Go back underground and bury some spheres and then go back and talk to
him
You can also do these before even starting the quests, so if you did any of
these before, just keep talking to him. Once you do all of that, he will
give you the Digger Drill, the item you need to create a secret base.
Now that you have it, you need to decide on a location. You can only use
the Digger Drill once, and then you will need to re-buy it from a
underground trap salesman. You might want to make it in a location you will
often go to, like Jubilife City or near the Pokemon League. You may also
want to make it near a underground goods salesman just to make the journey
far easier.
Once you are ready to make your Secret Base, go to Traps in your menu and
choose Digger Drill near the wall you want it at. It will then ask if you
want to amek this your underground base. Choose yes and you will go inside
your base.
The first thing you will notice is there is not much in your base. There
is a bunch of rocks that prevent you from putting much in the room, and
there is a PC on the top wall with a flag on it. When you select the PC,
the following menu will pop up:
DECORATE: Allows you to put items in the base
STORE GOODS: You need to put the items from your bag into the PC before
you can put them in your base
RECEIVE GOODS: This take out the stored goods and puts them in your bag
CHECK FLAGS: This shows the number of flags you have gotten from other
players secret bases and who you got them from.
However, there is a catch to your secret base: you will not be able to
fully decorate it until you start playing the flag capture multiplayer
game. This requires you to have a friend with a copy of Diamond, Pearl, or
Platinum and there own DS. Alternatively, if you have a extra DS fat,
DSlite, or DSi lying around, and a old copy of D/P, you can also do this
yourself.
In order to remove the rocks, you will need to go to rival player's bases
while in local wi-fi mode and steal their flag, and then bring it back to
your base. Here is the amount of flags you need to clear out the rocks:
Capture 01 Flag = 1 Rock is removed
Capture 03 Flags = 5 Rocks are removed
Capture 10 Flags = 10 Rocks are removed
Capture 50 Flags = All Rocks are removed
This means that you will have to get together with a friend and do this
often if you want to decorate your Secret Base.
As for the accesories, there are quite a few. Here are a list of the
various items you can buy for your secret base. Many of the items you can
only get from the Goods Sellers in the underground, or buying them from the
Veilstone Department Store. There are also a few you can only get from Mr.
Goods, or as a reward for doing the Underground Man's quests.

There are also ways you can protect your secret base. Traps are a type of
annoyance item that you place on the ground to cause various things to
happen. Traps are a one time thing, and require you to rebuy and then
replace them after they are activated. They can either be found randomly on
the ground in the underground by tapping the bottom screen, or buy buying
them from a Trap Salesman. Here is a list of the traps you can get in the
game:
/----------------------------------------------------------------------\
|Name |What it does |
|-----------------|----------------------------------------------------|
|Alert Trap 1-4 |Freezes you in place and displays a message |
|Bubble Trap |Makes various bubbles appear. Break with Stylus |
|Confuse Trap |Randomises your D-Pad for several steps. |
|Crater Trap |Makes you fall into a hole. Move D-Pad around. |
|Ember Trap |Makes fire appear on the screen. Blow into the mic. |
|Flower Trap |Makes pettles appear. Blow into the mic. |
|Foam Trap |Makes various bubbles appear. Break with Stylus. |
|Fog Trap |Fog covers the screan. Use your stylus to clear. |
|Hurl Trap |Throws you in the direction stated in the trap. |
|Leaf Trap |Makes leaves appear. Blow into the mic. |
|Move Trap |Throws you in the direction stated in the trap. |
|Pit Trap |Weaker version of Crater Trap. |
|Reverse Trap |Changes the direction on the D-Pad oppositely. |
|Rock Trap |Makes a rock fall on you. Tap with stylus to break. |
|Rockfall Trap |Stronger version of Rock Trap. |
|Smoke Trap |Same as Fog Trap. |

| Spheres and Sphere Traders |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Spheres, a weird currency used by the traders underground, are a key part
of getting certain traps and decorations downtown. No doubt that you have
gotten several Spheres while digging for items, and wondering what they do.
First of all, as mentioned above, Spheres come in 5 types: Red, Blue,
Green, Prism, and Pale when you dig them out of the walls. Red, Green, and
Blue are very common, while Prism and Pale are harder to find. They also
come in two different sizes: Small and Large. The number that is next to a
sphere is how large it is, with the maximum size for a Sphere being 99.
There are two ways to increase a sphere's size: Combining and Growing. The
first method is faster, but causes you to lose the smaller spheres. What
you do is select the highest sphere and bury it. You then select a smaller
sphere and then busy that one. Depending on the size of the sphere, the
bigger sphere will get a size bonus.
Here is a chart showing the size bonus you get:
/---------------------\
|Size |Bonus |
|--------------|------|
|1-4: | 1+ |
|5-9: | 2+ |
|10-14: | 3+ |
|15-19: | 4+ |
|20-24: | 5+ |
|24-29: | 6+ |
|30-34: | 7+ |
|35 and above: |10+ |
\---------------------/
*Thanks to serebii.net for this chart
Here is a example: I have a level 22 Red Sphere, and I have several other
smaller red spheres that I want to combine. Here is how it will flow:
Red Sphere Size 22
+ Red Sphere 15 (+4)
+ Red Sphere 8 (+2)
+ Red Sphere 2 (+1)
When you pick up the Sphere, it should be size 29 (22 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 29)
The second method is growing spheres. When you plan a sphere in the ground,
it will grow +3 sizes each day for Red, Green, and Blue spheres, and +2 for
Prism and Pale Spheres. This allows you to dispose of spheres and level
them up at the same time. Its recommended that you put any spheres you want
to grow in a easy to access location, like near a Pokemon Center.
So, why go through all the trouble of growing spheres? To trade them for
items. Littered around the underground are three different types of people
that will trade items, traps, and other spheres for a certain size and
color of sphere or treasure. Here are the locations of these traders:
Trap Sellers:
* Near Oreburgh City
* Near Eterna City
* Near Celestic Town
* Near the Survival Area
* Near Solaceon Town
* Near Sunnyshore
* On Fullmoon Island
Goods Sellers:
* Near Twinleaf
* Near Eterna City
* Near Veilstone
* Near Pastoria City
* Near Snowpoint City
* Near Sunyshore City
* Near Resort Area
* Near Fullmoon Island
Sphere Sellers:
* Near Twinleaf Town
* Near Sunyshore City
* Near Fullmon Island
* Near Resort Area

| Setting up a Connection |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Like most other DS games, you will need a wireless connection of some sort
to activate Wi-Fi options used in the GTS, Pokemon Center Wi-Fi spots, and
the battle tower random trainer download. First, however, you will need to
set up a connection. Here is what you will need:
*A Wireless Router<textarea></textarea>
or
*A Nintendo USB Wireless Connector
or
*A wireless access point (Usually located at most businesses. Most hotels
and coffee shops like Starbucks offer wireless Internet. Even some
fast food placed like McDonalds and Crystals in some locations offer
wireless access points).
Now, you need to input your settings on your DS to access the wireless
spots. To do that, go to the main menu when you are selecting to load
a file and choose the Wi-Fi option. If you have played another game
online with that particular DS, then you will not have to worry about
it. Usually, most wireless points are not locked, but not all wireless
routers will connect to the DS easily (Best to call your ISP for any
issues. I cannot help with any connection problems).

/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| The Global Trade Station |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
One feature that has been long awaited for the Pokemon games is the ability
to trade Pokemon Online. Fortunately, Nintendo gave it to us in the form of
the GTS: Global Trade Station. To access it, head to Jublife City and go
left from the Pokemon Center until you see a giant building.
Once you enter, you have several options. If you look at the globe, you can
register your location so people can see where you are from when trading.
Once you do register, you can look on the globe to see the location of all
the trades you have done over the GTS.
To actually trade Pokemon, go to the receptionist and say yes when she asks
if you want to trade. You will then have to save and connect to Nintendo's
Wi-Fi servers. Once that is done, you will be ready to start trading!
Here are some of the rules for the GTS:
-First of all, you must have at least seen the Pokemon to search for it.
Any Pokemon seen at the Battle Tower will not count, although I am
not sure about Pokemon you see in Link Battles
-Second, you can only search on certain criteria:
*Gender
*Any Level
*Pokemon lv 9 or below
*Pokemon lv 10 or above
*Pokemon lv 20 or above
*Pokemon lv 30 or above
*Pokemon lv 40 or above
*Pokemon lv 50 or above
*Pokemon lv 60 or above
*Pokemon lv 70 or above
*Pokemon lv 80 or above
*Pokemon lv 90 or above
*Lv 100 Pokemon
-Once you choose your criteria, if any were found while searching they
will appear on the bottom screen. Use the stylus to see what they
want. If you have a Pokemon that matched what they want, then it will
appear lit up when searching your boxes; all other Pokemon will be
grayed out.
-You can trade for any level Pokemon once you gain access to the GTS.
However, be aware that they will not obey you if you do not have the
right number of badges.
-Pokemon gotten from the 3rd Generation will not list the route or
area they were caught/hatched/received from, but they will list
the region they were caught in. For example: Say you caught a
Pidgey in FR and traded it to Emerald and then sent it to
Diamond. It will say it came from Kanto instead of Hoenn.
-You can only upload one Pokemon at a time to trade. You can take
it back at any time, and if someone traded with you, the Pokemon
will be sent to you the next time you check your status or the
next time you log on to the GTS.
-When you first start trading, you will only see 3 people to trade
with. You can increase that by doing trades with other people. If
you do one trade, you will then be able to see 5 people. Trade
several more and you will see the full 7. Note that this only
lasts for a limited amount of time.
W004:
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Hacked Pokemon |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
If there is one problem with trading on the GTS, it is the chances of
getting a hacked Pokemon. While it is good to note that severely hacked
Pokemon (Stats being too high, moves it cannot learn) are usually banned
from the GTS, some do slip through. Here is a few examples of hacked
Pokemon.
-If non-legendary Pokemon are caught with a Masterball, then there is a
extremely good chance that it is hacked.
-Furthermore, all hatched and event Pokemon from the 3rd generation come
in normal Pokeballs (Such as starters, Pokemon that have been given away,
etc). If they come in something that is not a normal Pokeball, then
it is hacked (For example: Say you get a Nidoqueen on the GTS from
Hoenn and it was caught with a Ultra Ball. Since Nidoran Female are not
native to Hoenn, the only way it could register from Hoenn is if it was
hatched there).
-If the stats look fairly low for a certain Pokemon, then there is a good
chance it is hacked.
-If the move set for a lv 100 Pokemon consists of moves that would not be
beneficial for it, there is a good chance it may be hacked. While not
always the case, most hacked lv 100s are caught in the wild and traded
without modifying its move set.
-If the Pokemon is native to D/P and the catch location is at a weird
spot, then it is hacked. Keep in mind that it will mention if it was
hatched or not in the catch location, so it may be hatched. A example
of a weird spot would be a Lv 100 Garchomp met and caught on Route
201: there is just no way it is possible.
-Keep in mind that a good majority of event Pokemon are hacked. Celebi
is extremely hard to find outside of Japan, as well as Mew and Deoxys.
Jirachi is a bit more common, since it came with the Colosseum bonus
disc. Also, event-only Pokemon in D/P also have a very high chance
of being hacked unless they are Japanese and fall under certain
circumstances.
-Be wary of trainers that may list several unique Pokemon at one time,
such as several shiny lv 100 Palkia all at once.
-If the trainer or Pokemon name is more characters then is supported
(For example: A Pokemon with a name that is all ?'s that goes past
what is usually accepted), then it is hacked.
Unfortunately, it is good to note that you cannot tell a good majority
of these until you do the actual trade. Furthermore, you cannot tell
if the Pokemon was duped or a item it is holding was duped.
For those that are worried about hacked Pokemon, here is a small list
of events that were held and any unique Pokemon that may come from it:
(Note: All credit goes to serebii.net for this list. This is just a
condensed list for reference. Also note that this only lists the
rare Pokemon found in those events, serebii.net has the full list

| Pokemon Center Wi-Fi |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
A new feature in the 4th generation is the ability to battle online with
friends. However, there is a small drawback: you will need their D/P
specific game code for it to work. So, how does one battle and trade with
certain people?
First of all, go to the "Set up a connection" guide above to set up your
wireless connection. Then, make sure you have at least one badge or so.
Every Pokemon Center will have a downstairs area (The stairs are located
on the right inside the Pokemon Center).
Next, speak to the lady on the front counter. She will then try to connect
to the wireless connection. Say "Yes" and you will test connect and then
recieve a item called the Pal Pad.
The Pal Pad is a very important item when it comes to communication with
other people. If you want to trade or battle with anyone in the downstairs
wi-fi area, you will need their name and friends code.
How do you get all that info, you ask? First, open your items menu and
go to the key item section and select the Pal Pad and press A. It will
then open a menu with three options:
-Check Friend Roster
-Register Friend's Code
-*Your Name* Code
The friends roster is a list of all the friends you currently have
registered. You can also edit them if you need to make any changes.
To register someone in your Pal Pad, you will need to have their code
and their trainer name and go to the "Register Friend's Code" option.
There, it will ask you for their number and name. When you have at
least one friend registered in the pal pad, you will be able to
log on to the downstairs wi-fi center.
The last option displays your code and name. Make sure you write those
down and give them to anyone you want to battle and trade with.
So, what can you do online? First of all, you will need to have a friend
online to do anything, or else you will be in a waiting screen. When
someone is online, you have four options
-Single Battle
-Double Battle
-Trade
-See Records
Single and Double Battles have three options: lv 50, lv 100, and free
battle. Trading works just like it did in the previous generations.
You can also check your opponents records on different things, such as
the number of battles they have done or trades.
On one final note: you can use the microphone to talk to people while
trading, but you cannot use it for single and double battles. It is also
recommended that you use headphones while talking, because it is hard
to hear many times while communicating.

| Pokemon GTS Website |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
A new feature for keeping track of what Pokemon are available on the GTS,
Nintendo launched the GTS website on September 14th, 2007. The site
is updated at 1:30 GMT every day(Greenwitch Mean Time, look it up on
Wikipedia if you are confused).
http://www.pokemon-gts.net/
Note that you need Flash in order to view it. You can also choose from the
following languages:
- Japanese
- English (USA)
- English (UK)
- Deutsch (German)
- Français (French)
- Espanol (Spanish)
- Italiano (Italian)
- Nederlands (Dutch)
Once you do click on your language, it will bring you to the overall
interface where you can do several things:
- The Daily Trades
- Pokemon Trade Healines
- Search for Particular Pokemon
- Look at the Ranking Data
- Bookmark
And now, a explanation for each:
* The Daily Trades are a way to see the Pokemon that have been traded
over the span of several days. It will play as a movie where it will
show the time the Pokemon was traded, what Pokemon were traded, their
movesets and level, the location where each was traded from, and the
distance. If the Pokemon is in a different language, it will display
all that info in its native language (Like trading a english Pokemon
for a Japanese will show the Japanese Pokemon info in japanese).
* The trade headlines show the top 10 traded Pokemon during that time,
the number of Pokemon deposited in the GTS, and the top countries
where the Pokemon are traded. You can slow it down by moving your
mouse over it.
* The Pokemon Search is a way to search for particular Pokemon by using
a interface that shows all the Pokemon via images at the bottom. By
clicking on one, it will bring up data on its height, weight, its
different names in different countires, and what feebass were deposited
on that day (As well as its level, country, time of upload, and
such). If you want to switch the set of Pokemon, click the box on the
right to bring up a list ranked on their National Dex numbers.
The only thing is that there are several Pokemon that you can not view
data on. Here are those Pokemon:
- Mew
- Lugia
- Ho-Oh
- Celebi
- Jirachi
- Deoxys
- Phione
- Manaphy
- Darkrai
- Shaymin
- Arceus
This is because these Pokemon are either event Pokemon, or have not been
revealed yet to the public (the last three do not even appear as a
option, while the others have their button grayed out).
* The Ranking Dats shows three things: The 50 most traded Pokemon, the
50 most wanted Pokemon, and the 50 most deposited Pokemon overall.
It also shows if its ranking has gone up or down.
* The bookmark option allows you to select particular Pokemon while
searching and view it at a later time. You can bookmark either
particular Pokemon or countries.
If anything is added to the site or anything changes, let me know.

|--O--| BREEDING GUIDE |--O--|
\___/________________________________________________________________\___/
\0008/
----
One big feature that has been in every game since Gold and Silver is
Breeding, the ability to create a new Pokemon with two other Pokemon with
two different genders and share a egg group. Although it has been around
for awhile, there are some who still do not know the basics of it. This
part of the guide will explain a few of the obvious and not so obvious
steps in breeding a Pokemon.
00A8:
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| The Basics |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
The first step in breeding is to get to a point where you can breed. In
Diamond and Pearl, the breeding center is in a town called Solaceon. You
will have to go through it at some point to get to the 4th gym (The
town itself is located between Route 209 and 210).
Another thing to know beforehand is which abilities a Pokemon can
learn, what Nature you want them to be at, and what Gender (If
it isn't a Pokemon that will always have a certain Gender). This
will throw in a new problem: Getting the nature you want, as well as
the abilities you want at the same time. Abilities are not too bad,
since there doesn't seem to be a percentage on which Pokemon can
get which ability (50/50, basically). Gender depends on the Pokemon:
Genderless or Pokemon who have the same gender every time are not
too much of a problem, while Pokemon who do have different genders
have a certain percentage of how often it will be a male/female, so
it can be very hard to get a certain gender many times.
Natures, however, can be a big pain in the ass. Not only do they affect
certain stats, but they affect which Pokeblocks a Pokemon would like
(Which makes a difference in contests and Feebass, mostly). So, you
pretty much are going to have to figure out your Pokemon's strong and
weak points in their stats. For example: Chansey pretty much is used
as a wall in multiplayer matches, so a Rash ability would not benefit
it. However, for Chansey, a Hardy, Docile, Timid, Jolly, Naive,
Bashful, and Quirky Nature would either not hurt it's stats, or give it
a boost in Speed: one of the few stats that mean something for a wall
that does not rely on Attack, Defense, or the two specials.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| !!! NOTE !!! |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| If you have two Pokemon that can breed and the mother has |
| the nature you want, then giving the mother a everstone |
| will increase your chances of getting the mother's |
| nature. If Ditto is given the everstone, it also has a chance of |
| passing down its nature. |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
So, what is the big problem? Natures, Abilities, and Gender are pre-
determined once you do get the egg, so you cannot save before it hatches
and go back before it does hatch. The best way to counter this is to keep
one Pokemon that knows Flame Body or Magma Armor (Such as Slugma or
Magcargo), and carry 5 Pokemon eggs at once. If none of them have the
natures/abilities/gender you want, release them and try again.
00B8:
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| Chain Breeding |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
The next step is to figure out which Pokemon you want breed, and for
what reason. Do you want a Pokemon for its stats, or to chain breed with
another Pokemon for a specific move? Chain-Breeding is a process in which
you transfer a move from one Pokemon that has a move over to one that
can learn it either via a TM or via it's egg move capabilities (Refer
to the Pokedex for a list of moves a Pokemon can learn via breeding). This,
sometimes, may require several Pokemon just to get to the Pokemon you
want to have the move. Here is a small example:
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
|THE POKEMON: |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon 1: Has move you want |
|Pokemon 2: Female |
|Pokemon 3: Offspring of Pokemon 1 and 2 and Carrier of move from Pokemon |
| 1. |
|Main Pokemon: Female and type of Pokemon that you want to give the move |
| to. |
|Main offspring: Pokemon with desired move. |
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Pokemon 1 has a move you want for another Pokemon, but you cannot breed |
|Main Pokemon for it. Pokemon 1 is male |
| |
|Pokemon 2 has the capability of learning that move, and can breed with |
|Pokemon 1 and your Main Pokemon. Pokemon 2 is female |
| |
|Main Pokemon has the capability of learning that move either as |
|a egg or TM learned move. Main Pokemon is female. |
| |
|Pokemon 1 and 2 will breed, and produce a egg with Pokemon 3. Pokemon 3 |
|will need to be male so it can breed with Main Pokemon, so you will need |
|to breed until you get a Male Pokemon 3. Then, breed Male Pokemon 3 with |
|Main Pokemon (Unless it is a baby Pokemon, in which you will need to |
|level it up). Then, hatch it and see if you got the Pokemon you want |
|with the right move/gender/ability/nature. If not, re-breed Pokemon 3 |
|and Main Pokemon until you get the desired Pokemon with the right |
|specs. |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Sounds like a giant process for chain breeding, no? Basically, you will
need to map out everything about a certain Pokemon to get one that is
"perfect", or so you think.
So, what about those who could care less about moves and the various other
hassles of breeding? Well, the minimum you will need to breed two Pokemon
is a Pokemon that is female, one that is male, and they both need to
be in the same Egg Group (refer to the next section, 004F, for details
on egg groups). If they are in the same egg group, then take them down
to the breeding center and drop them off. Depending on if they are
a traded Pokemon and various other things, it may take longer or shorter
to produce a egg. Talk to the man outside to see if the two Pokemon have
produced a egg yet. Once they do, take it.
00C8:
/-------------------------------------------------------------------------\
| The Hatching Process |
\-------------------------------------------------------------------------/
Now, the boring part. Once you have your egg, you will need to keep it
in one of your slots in your party for it to gain steps to hatch.
Basically, every type of Pokemon has a amount of steps it needs in order
to hatch. For example, all the starters in D/P need 5,120 steps to
hatch, while a Pokemon such as Dratini needs 10,240 steps to hatch.
As you can see, you can half the amount of steps to 2,560 and 5120
respectively if you have a Pokemon with Flame Body or Magma Armor (Such
as Slugma) in your party.
So, what are some of the best places to hatch Pokemon in D/P? Going from
Twinleaf to Sunyshore on Bike is about 2100 steps, and that is with
some errors. The Cycling path south of Eterna City is about 200
steps from the top to the bottom and then back to the top again, and
the path near the breeding center in Solaceon Town (Going from the part
of Route 209 that has the bike slopes in a straight line through Solaceon
Town up to Route 210, past the bike slope, and hitting the wall near
the cafe) to and from is about 250 steps.
So, which one is the fastest? From Twinleaf to Sunyshore on a bike
with the fastest setting is about 6+ minutes, about 7+ minutes
on the lower setting, and about 7:30+ minutes using B to walk. The
Cycling Path from top to bottom and back to the top was about
15 seconds. The Solaceon path that I described above is about 18
second from the bottom of Route 209 to the top of Route 210, and
back again to the bottom of Route 209.
Just to give you a general idea how it fairs step-wise, lets compare
each of them.
Twinleaf-Sunyshore: 2100 steps (10.5 times the Cycling Road route and
8.4 times the Solaceon Route
Cycling Road: 200 (About .10 times the T-S route, and .8 times the
Solaceon Route
Solaceon Route: 250 (About .11 times the T-S route, and 1.25 times the
Cycling Road Route).
So, when it comes down to it, you would need to ride the Cycling Road
10 times up, down, and up again and one time down to get the same
steps as the Twinleaf-Sunyshore route, and you would have to do the
Solaceon Route 8 times and then half one time to have the same effect
as the T-S route. However, how do they compare time-wise?
Twinleaf-Sunyshore Route on bike with highest speed is 6+ minutes,
so lets use that one and say it is around 6 minutes and 30 seconds.
Riding the same distance on the Cycling Road is about 2 minutes
and 38 seconds, 3 minutes and 52 seconds faster. The Solaceon
Route is about 2 minutes and 55 seconds, 3 minutes and 35 seconds
faster.
So, how does the Solaceon and Cycling Road compare? 2:38 when compared
to 2:55 would be a 17 second difference, making the Cycling Road
faster in theory.
How does this all hold up egg-wise? Hatching a 5200 step egg would take
2 and nearly a quarter go around using the T-S route (Or about
15 minutes, 7:30 minutes with a beneficial ability).
On the Cycling Road Route, hatching a 5200 step egg would take 26 times
from the top, bottom, and back to the top again (About 6:30 minutes, or
3:15 minutes with a beneficial ability).
On the Solaceon Route, hatching a 5200 step egg would take about 21 times
from the bottom of Route 209 to the top of Route 210 and back down again
(about 6 minutes and 30 seconds, 3:15 with a beneficial ability).
However, each has their own strengths and weaknesses. The T-S route allows
you to catch any Pokemon you might have missed, but is slower and you
might run into trainers/Pokemon/obstacles (Meaning that Repels are
needed). Not only that, but you might need cut to get through a few
sections swiftly.
The Cycling Road route is about on par with Solaceon, but you have to
have your bike on the highest speed setting and move around other trainers
on the route. The Solaceon route has the benefit of being right next to
the daycare, meaning you can simply pick up and drop off Pokemon when
you need to. Only bad thing is you have to remount your bike if you go
into the daycare.
